Mastriano Uses Russian Propaganda Clip In New Ad​

October 19, 2022 Republicans, Russia


The Insider reports:

Over the summer, as its soldiers were bogged down in a war that has made their nation an international pariah, Russia’s embassy in Spain posted a video on Twitter encouraging people to move to their country, boasting that newcomers would enjoy a land of traditional values free from “cancel culture.”
Doug Mastriano, a state senator and the Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania, is promising voters in his state much the same thing, his campaign centering the candidate’s opposition to transgender rights and anti-racist pedagogy.
And in a new ad, the GOP candidate — who won his May primary after a late endorsement from former President Donald Trump — even features an image from the same photoshoot used by the Russian government.

The ad from Mastriano, a Trump-backed Republican, used footage of young girls that was previously used in a video encouraging immigration to Russia.

More than likely a dumb mistake.

Democrats have also used questionable stock footage in their ads. In North Carolina, for example, a Democratic candidate in 2016 ran an ad featuring testimonials from ostensible voters who were in fact stock-photo models; their Republican opponent likewise ran an ad about their commitment to disadvantaged children that featured kids in Africa, per The Washington Post.

Your position is that he just accidentally pulled a still from a Russian propaganda video and used it as part of an ad campaign?

Yeah, stuff like this happens. Tell me you haven’t looked at your wall of family photos and found a picture of your step sister stuck in a dryer.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.
