Inflammatory Radio Ad Blitz Hits Battleground States

November 1, 2022 · 11:01 am ET · Leave a Comment

“One of the biggest radio ad blitzes in the final stretch of the midterm elections is a provocative package of advertisements aimed at deepening cultural divides over transgender care for children and racial tensions,” the New York Times reports.

“Financed by two groups run by former Trump administration officials, the ads have been placed with Black and Hispanic radio stations, along with conservative talk radio stations.”

“But the inflammatory radio spots contrast with a more standard-issue ad campaign this month from former President Donald Trump. Mr. Trump’s TV spots, created by his super PAC, MAGA Inc., have promoted messages on inflation and crime that generally align in both issue and tone with those of many Republican candidates seeking federal office.”
