GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters painted as antisemitic in new ad

A new campaign ad portrays Blake Masters, the venture capitalist vying for the GOP Senate nomination in Arizona, as an antisemite.

The advertisement, commissioned by GOP rival Jim Lamon’s campaign ahead of former President Donald Trump’s Thursday endorsement of Masters, largely draws upon an anti-war article Masters wrote as an undergraduate at Stanford University.

The 30-second ad quickly scans across different spots on a corkboard, showing photos, article clippings, and other media connected by a red string — the sort of “evidence board” employed in thriller movies.

“You think you know Blake Masters?” a voiceover asks. “Did you know Blake Masters called World War II unjust and extensively quoted an antisemite who believes Jews and Zionists are bent on world domination? Did you know Blake Masters shared an article calling Israel 'the North Korea of the Middle East'? Blake Masters even praised the Unabomber and unironically quoted a Nazi war criminal.”
