FL-SEN: Mucarsel Powell hits back at Scott over 'socialism' label in first general election ad
Senate candidate and former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D) rolled out her first general election ad on Thursday, hitting back at her opponent, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), for labeling her as a socialist.
The Hill was the first outlet to view the ad.
“I grew up under a dictatorship before coming to the U.S.,” Mucarsel Powell says in the thirty-second spot, which features footage of former Ecuadorian dictator Guillermo Rodríguez. “For me, freedom isn’t some political slogan. It’s why I came to America.”
The former congresswoman goes on to accuse Scott of taking away freedoms, saying the senator would ban abortion, raise taxes, and end Social Security. The messaging is similar to that of Vice President Harris, who has also invoked the fight to protect freedoms in her campaign.
