Antisemitic Ads About Doug Emhoff Target Muslim Voters in Michigan
An ad campaign in the state, funded by a group that appears tied to Republicans, seems designed to remind Muslim voters of Kamala Harris’s pro-Israel views and her husband’s Jewish faith.
“Doug Emhoff,” a narrator says, “would be the first Jewish presidential spouse ever.”
The strategy behind the spot seems to be far more cynical.
A super PAC that appears to have Republican ties is targeting Michigan residents — including those in Detroit-area ZIP codes that are home to many Muslim Americans and Arab Americans — with YouTube advertisements that highlight Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for Israel and, in some cases, the Jewish faith of her husband, Mr. Emhoff.
As the narrator cheerfully notes Mr. Emhoff’s religion, an image of the Israeli flag appears onscreen, a dog whistle conjuring the antisemitic trope of dual loyalty.

REAL JEWS vote for the EXACT people Running these Ads that claim JEWS are BAD!
Joking about antisemitism needs to include tone indicator tags. That's how the nazis came back on 4chan. Let your comment give no quarter to those who hate.
So... you seem to be saying that 'real jews' (whatever they are) vote Republican? Seems an iffy thing to assert, or are you are just commenting on how odd it would be to vote for someone who bad mouths you?
Sorry bro, sarcasm train left 20 minutes ago and you ain't on it
I’ve heard many people who would never vote labour do exactly that because Rishi was brown and they thought leaving the EU would get rid of the brown people
The Israel-Palestine situation is incredibly divisive. Northern Detroit-Metro area is the highest concentration of Muslim Americans
Sorry, I misread this as being a statement about someone's religion. Will delete, as that's not the same as suggesting they support certain wars,.
You didn't need to scrub it away. It's hard for some people to keep the two things separate. There's always tension, but this ploy is definitely taking advantage of the volatile situation now
