The Washington Free Beacon reports an example of political chicanery that, presuming you don’t want Harris to defeat Trump, is very fine. A little known PAC is running ads praising Harris’ support for Israel and opposition to antisemitism.
The ads also make a point of her husband being a Jew, and the historic implications of him becoming the spouse of the president and the first Jew to live in the White House. Amazingly the NY Times calls these pro-Israel ads “antisemitic.”
Oh, we forgot to mention: The ads are airing in the Detroit area. Dearborn, Mich., is an inner-ring suburb of Detroit home to the country’s largest Muslim population, and what the Times report from Katie Glueck doesn’t say is that the 40,000 or so odd Arabs there don’t like Jews. It’s not that the ads are anti-Semitic, it’s that the voters are.
If the ads can convince half of Dearborn to sit out the election, Trump could win Michigan.
