I just saw a RW ad attacking Harris for "supporting peaceful protestors in 2020"

I don't live in a swing state, so it was a bit jarring, but it was this meathead cop who was injured in the Minneapolis protests complaining that Harris responded by praising "peaceful protests." How is that an insult??

Of course it then went into the whole defund the police lie, and the guy mispronounced her first name (almost certainly intentionally), but as awful as the ad was I just don't see how it would impact anyone's vote. It's like we live on a different planet than they do.

Yeah, sounds like a rather lame ad---
but one side in this election now clearly has the reputation for being the "fire-hose of lies"--

I don't think their negative ads will be believed by many outside of the cult...
