Antisemitic Ads About Doug Emhoff Target Muslim Voters in Michigan
Briefly

The ad features a celebratory tone while highlighting Doug Emhoff as the first Jewish presidential spouse, yet its strategy appears to manipulate sentiments in a cynical manner.
A super PAC, thought to be aligned with Republicans, uses YouTube ads targeting Michigan residents, specifically in Detroit-area ZIP codes with large Muslim and Arab American populations, to emphasize Vice President Harris's support for Israel.
The ads mix Mr. Emhoff's Jewish identity with imagery of the Israeli flag, invoking the anti-Semitic notion of dual loyalty, as positive statements about Kamala Harris’s leadership are paired with these images.
The Future Coalition PAC has produced multiple advertisements since September, with some specifically addressing Mr. Emhoff's Jewish faith, while others focus on Vice President Harris's strong backing of Israel.
