2020’s First Attack Ad is Out ... Against Cory Booker

The conservative Committee for Israel, led by Weekly Standard founder Bill Kristol and former Reagan administration official Gary Bauer, has released the first attack ad of 2020, and it has chosen Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) as its target. Called “Under the Bus,” the 30-second ad paints Booker as an enemy of Israel for his vote against the Taylor Force Act, a bill that would cut State Department aid to the Palestinian Authority in an attempt to force it to end its program of compensating convicted murderers and terrorists. The ad first hit the airwaves in the New York and Philadelphia markets during last night’s baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. “Why does Cory Booker support paying terrorists?,” the ad asks. Click here to watch it.
