A conservative outside group recently launched an ad criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris over the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, coinciding with its third anniversary this week. The ad, created by Veterans On Duty, includes a clip of Harris from a 2021 interview discussing her involvement in the administration's handling of the withdrawal.
The ad's narrator highlights various issues, stating, 'They were tested and they failed. Here’s the reality of Kamala Harris’ record. Terrorists streaming across our southern border. Sweetheart deals with enemies of America. A deadly and costly exit from Afghanistan.' The ad aims to showcase what the group perceives as the true cost of Harris's leadership failures and urges action to protect national security.
The ad is currently being aired on cable news stations in the Washington, DC, media market. Rather than targeting battleground voters, the ad seems directed at elected officials, media personnel, and influencers in the nation's capital. This strategic move appears to be an attempt to shape the ongoing conversation surrounding the heavily criticized withdrawal as it marks its third anniversary this week.
