Controversial Democratic Ad Claims GOP Aims to Ban Porn Nationwide
A $2.5 million ad campaign targets young men, accusing Republicans of infringing on personal freedoms.
- The ad, titled 'Republicans Rubbing You The Wrong Way,' depicts a fictional Republican congressman interrupting a man's private moment to announce a nationwide porn ban.
- Funded by Progress Action Fund and Defend the Vote, the ad aims to sway young male voters in swing states away from supporting Donald Trump.
- Democratic groups hope to leverage the ad to boost support for Vice President Harris by addressing concerns about personal freedoms.
- Critics argue the ad misrepresents Republican efforts, which focus on child protection laws requiring age verification on porn sites.
- Testing suggests the ad has shifted some under-30 male voters 3.5 points away from Trump, according to DemCast USA's Nick Knudsen.
