A super PAC called Frontiers of Freedom (FF) has released ads this campaign cycle against Ruben Gallego, highlighting his far-left record and his “record of anti-Catholic bigotry.”
George Landrith, president of FF, explained the purpose of the hard-hitting ads in a statement.
“Too many Republicans, on the advice of consultants and under pressure from family and friends to show what nice people they are, respond with ineffective defensive ads, either portraying themselves as ‘nice people’ who make breakfast and walk the dog, or focusing on obscure feel-good issues,” he said.
“As a result, key races became more about Republican challengers’ reputations than about the radical voting records of Democrat incumbents. In 1980, Super PAC ads were key to delivering 12 new Republican senators to Ronald Reagan, and all they did was use the word ‘liberal,’” Landrith said. “Once people realize all the attack ads against GOP candidates are just smokescreens to hide the fact Democrats are left-wing extremists, it’s the difference maker.”
The latest ad, “The Real Gallego,” asked, “Why hasn’t the Arizona media asked Gallego to answer the TV ad about his record of bigotry towards the Catholic Church?” It featured a screenshot of The Arizona Republic — which runs articles almost daily attacking Kari Lake — and denounced the media for giving Gallego “a free pass.”
