Pro-Graham Group Runs Ad Linking Rival Harrison to 'Looting' and 'Rioting'
As Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) fights for his political life, his supporters’ closing argument has emerged: a vote for Democratic candidate Jaime Harrison, they contend, is a vote for looting, rioting, and chaos.
That’s the message delivered by Hobart Lewis, the sheriff of Greenville County, South Carolina, in an ad paid for by a pro-Graham super PAC, that hit airwaves in the state this week.
As footage rolls of looters smashing windows and setting fires, Lewis intones, “the rioting, the looting, the chaos... If Jaime Harrison is elected to the Senate, get ready, because it's comin’.”
Standing in uniform in front of a squad car, Lewis, who is white, alleges that Harrison “stands with the radicals who want to defund the police,” as the camera pans to the window of a squad car, which shows the faces of Harrison, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The sheriff then goes on to say Harrison has “dangerous ideas and zero experience” before touting Graham’s law enforcement credentials.
