Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris was caught running opposing ads simultaneously in two states: pro-Palestine ads in Michigan and pro-Israel ads in Pennsylvania.
The Harris campaign has taken the Democrats’ efforts to play both sides of the Israel-Gaza conflict to a whole new level. While most Democrats have been trying to stay quiet on the issue entirely, and others have tried to weakly support both sides at once, Harris is straight-up lying to her potential voters by pretending to support Israel in a state with a lot of Jewish voters and pretending to support Palestine in a state with majority-Arab voters — while the truth is, no one actually knows where she stands on the issue.
Kamala Harris is running ads targeting Jewish voters in Pennsylvania and Michigan that touts how much she loves and is devoted to Israel.
She's targeting Muslims and Arabs with ads with the opposite message: she's horrified about suffering in Gaza.https://t.co/Jco6EYMFz5 pic.twitter.com/NOqdqSmfRU

According to a report from CNN, Jewish voters in Pennsylvania are being shown an ad claiming that Harris will “stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” while Arab voters in Michigan are being shown an ad claiming that Harris “will not be silent about the human suffering occurring in Gaza.”
The Facebook ads targeting Pennsylvania contain a clip of Harris’ speech from the Democrat National Convention, where she stated: “And let me be clear. I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”
“And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists,” Harris added.
This ad purposely removed two paragraphs from the speech in between those two lines, where she declares the “suffering” in Gaza to be “heartbreaking.”
Meanwhile, Facebook ads targeting Michigan contain clips of Harris’ other speeches in support of Gaza.
“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” she said in the ad.
“Our common humanity compels us to act,” Harris said later in the ad.
CNN shockingly reported on the contradiction of running opposing ads, sharing both ads after an “investigation” into Harris’ “mixed messages.”
FRAUD: CNN just exposed Kamala Harris for running anti-Israel ads in Michigan and pro-Israel ads in Pennsylvania. Trump should just run them for her in reverse… pic.twitter.com/sgw5QAG8ok
