A recent minute-long ad aired on Detroit radio by a Republican-tied super PAC is urging voters to support Green Party candidate Jill Stein over Vice President Kamala Harris due to her stance on Israel. The ad, discovered through a search of local swing state radio stations, is part of the ongoing efforts of Badger Values PAC, a group with Republican affiliations that has been actively promoting Stein and former President Donald Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The ad is being broadcast on two urban radio stations, WMGC and WMXD. It criticizes Harris for her perceived unwavering support for Israel, citing a quote from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he mentions turning adversaries into rubble. However, the ad fails to provide the context that Netanyahu was specifically referring to Hamas following a terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.
