At 9:17 PM on Saturday, a tweet went viral on Twitter: "A devout Christian? Republican candidate secretly met with a gay pastor late at night."
The article only released two blurry screenshots of corridor surveillance, but the hashtag #Graver'sSecret# quickly jumped to third place on Twitter's Chicago trending list.
The next morning at 7:00 sharp, the bells of St. Mary's Church rang for morning prayer.
A large number of Catholics walked into the church, folded their hands, and listened to the voice of God.
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard.
When the believers opened their eyes, they saw an unbearable high-definition image suddenly pop up on the 4K electronic screen above the choir.
Grayver and the blond priest were whispering in each other's ears in the confessional, and the cross pendant hit the wooden partition with the intense movement.
The sight of the half-faded divine robe made several old women in the front row faint on the spot.
"Oh my God! This is blasphemy! This is blasphemy!" The bishop trembled as he cut off the power to the electronic screen.
However, this video had already been synchronized to 37 churches in Chicago. On that day, almost all the believers present saw this disgusting scene.
In just less than an hour, the number of views of the topic #Graver's Pastor Lover# on Twitter exceeded 800,000.
Netizens left comments:
"Honey Crab! This is Chicago politics! An arms dealer, a gang boss, and a gay who blasphemed a pastor!"
"Guys! I'd rather vote for Carter! You must not know who Carter is! He's my neighbor's dog!"
"In America, pastor is just a profession! Pastors have their own rights too!"
…
Graver's campaign office phone was soon flooded with calls from evangelical groups.
However, the campaign team provided by the Republican Party for Graver was still very professional.
They immediately came up with a plan to deal with the situation, asking Grave to pretend to be calm and not to respond to the matter.
As a result, the incident fermented rapidly in Chicago for a whole day, but Graves did not say a single word of public clarification.
Until Tuesday afternoon, when Graver suddenly appeared on the Chicago Evening News.
He looked very proud and kept promoting his campaign ideas without mentioning his affair with the pastor.
Finally, the host couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Mr. Graver, what do you think of what happened on Sunday?"
"What's going on?" Graves pretended to be clueless.
"Someone leaked a video of you and a pastor," the host said. "I can't believe it. Don't you know about this by now?"
"Hahaha, I know, I know! Of course I know."
Graver said lightly, "I just don't think this is worth mentioning! This video was fabricated using crude technology. My opponents have gone to great lengths to discredit me. I believe the majority of voters will not believe this rumor!"
"You say this video is fake?" the host asked. "Then may I ask, how can you prove that this video is fake?"
Graver laughed heartily, then pulled out his phone and said, "Come on! Let me show you a video!"
The host took the phone and saw that he was actually participating in a pornographic video. He was so shocked that he covered his mouth and said, "My God, this is so real!"
"Now you believe it, Mr. Host, I believe you did not participate in the scene in the video."
"Oh, of course! Of course!" the host replied repeatedly. "Mr. Graver, you've given the best response yet. Thank you for coming to our news site!"
In the following days, Graver did not make any further explanation on the matter, and the heat of the matter gradually subsided.
Reeves didn't expect that Graver could easily deal with this public relations crisis in this way.
Graves's approval rating has only dropped slightly, but it remains at around 40%, making him the candidate with the highest support.
It seems that it will be difficult to defeat Grayver by discrediting the opponent.
That day, Reeves called Fox over and said, "Fox, we must go all out in this campaign. Go do one thing, and do it well."
"What's the matter? Boss, just tell me!" Fox said, patting his chest.
Ribbs sent an address to Fox's phone and said, "This is the address of Grave's pastor lover. Find that guy and control him. It would be best if we could make him behave himself."
"Okay, this is easy, leave it to me!" Fox agreed.
Ribs warned again: "Well, remember not to harm his life... Once a person is dead, he is useless."
"Okay, I got it, boss!"
…
In order to ensure the success of the election, Fox was arranged to control the pastor.
Ribs also came to the charity foundation and found Frank.
He sat cross-legged in his chair, flipping through the foundation's account book, and said, "Frank! My approval rating is now on par with Graves's. We have to work harder. Success or failure depends on this final step..."
"Boss, the foundation's really running out of money!" Frank wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at the foundation's account book. "Next week, we're going to provide free winter heating subsidies to workers in several communities, which is expected to cost 800,000. Plus, there's a barbecue party for 1,000 people in the Mexican community..."
"Well, just burn the money!"
Reeves rudely interrupted Frank and jabbed his finger hard on the front page of the Chicago Sun-Times - in the photo, a homeless man in a red hat was holding a sign that read "Reeves = Hope".
"Don't be stingy with money," said Liebs. "Money is a giant mansion in Sarasota with a shelf life of only ten years. Power is an ancient stone building that can stand for hundreds of years."
Frank gritted his teeth and said, "Even with the money we just made from the garbage collection business, we can only last two weeks at this rate. Unless..." His eyes flickered, "Let the brothers 'visit' a few jewelers in Midtown?"
"Yeah." Reeves nodded, "You guys handle this matter, it's not convenient for me to come forward."
Ribs stood up and before leaving, he reminded Frank: "Any charity event must have reporters present, and let's get our charity motorcade moving, don't stop!"
In the cold wind, more than a dozen trucks with the Black Rabbit logo printed on them rolled over the icy road.
Chicago residents who came to receive the free heating money praised Reeves highly: "I don't think Reeves is a gangster at all. He is a good man among good people! How can a gang give heating money to citizens?"
At the same time, twelve modified ambulances shuttled through the slums, and "black rabbit doctors" in white coats went door to door to inject free flu vaccines.
