Pennsylvania Republican Senate Candidate Dave McCormick recently attacked his Democratic opponent, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), by releasing a devastating anti-Kamala Harris ad. Vice President Harris has faced heightened scrutiny before the election as she assumed the part’s presumptive nominee status amid Joe Biden dropping out of the race.
The advertisement follows Casey endorsing Harris in her presidential bid as the “best person” to lead the party and defeat former President Donald Trump in November. The ad highlights a number of issues with Harris, such as how she was rated as the most liberal senator and she touted ending the filibuster to pass the radical Green New Deal.
“With women’s rights, workers’ rights, and voting rights on the line, the stakes of this election for Pennsylvania and the Nation couldn’t be higher. Vice President Harris has been leading on those fights and as a former prosecutor, she will draw a clear contrast between herself and former President Trump. She is prepared to be Commander-in-Chief and is the best person to meet this moment. I’m proud to endorse her candidacy for President,” Case said in his endorsement.
The ad highlighted Harris’s many deeply unpopular positions over the last few years, such as being “in favor of banning fracking.” The video also featured a clip of Harris stating, “We’re not going to treat people who are undocumented who cross the border as criminals. That’s correct.” This is particularly frustrating to many Americans who have dealt with the consequences of millions of illegal immigrants pouring over the southern border.
The anti-Harris advertisement also addressed the vice president’s progressive stances on law enforcement, where she suggested that it was “wrongheaded thinking” to assume that “the only way” for communities “to be safe is to put more police officers on the street.” Harris has also faced backlash for previously supporting a bail fund for violent Black Lives Matter rioters who had been arrested.
The video then displayed a June 2020 headline: “Sen. Kamala Harris applauds LA mayor’s decision to slash police funding.” Another hotly contested piece of Kamal Harris’s rhetoric the video showcased was her anti-Second Amendment agenda, where she said, “We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.”

Dan Epstein, president of AFL, said, “A lot of her tough-on-crime reputation goes to her prosecution when she was San Francisco DA, individuals who use marijuana and other sorts of things. Our investigation, however, makes it very clear that Kamala Harris does not believe much in terms of statutes passed by legislatures, including the Federal United States, Congress, as well as the state of California.”
He added, “And so those are really our probes of her not following the rule of law and bending it for a political objective,” he said. “We also probe numerous kind of potential ethics issues and failures to disclose conflicts of interest, allowing her own staff as attorney general to engage in fraud and not kind of overseeing that.”
