The ad, first obtained by Breitbart News, is a sharp attack on Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA)’s “open borders” voting record, and comes against the backdrop of last week’s arrests of eight Tajikistani immigrants with alleged ties to the Islamic State (ISIS).
The ad, called “ISIS,” examination This is the latest video from Keystone Renewal, a super PAC supporting Pennsylvania Republican candidate Dave McCormick, which was reported by Breitbart News in advance of its release on YouTube on Wednesday afternoon.
First, there are the arrests of what Fox 29 reported were “eight terrorism suspects” last week in Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles. NBC News, citing anonymous sources, reported that all of the men arrested had entered the US illegally at the southern border.
“First off, tonight a federal investigation has led to the arrest of eight suspected terrorists, part of which is taking place here in Philadelphia,” a news anchor can be heard saying on air at the start of the video.
Citing federal sources, Fox 29 report Over the course of several days, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested “Tajik nationals with ties to ISIS.”
The ad also slams Casey on his voting record at the border and issues related to illegal immigration, claiming his votes have made Pennsylvania less safe.
“Bob Casey was warned that his open borders policy would put America at risk, but he carried it out anyway,” the narrator states. “Casey voted against increased funding for the Border Patrol, tougher sentences for illegals, and amnesty for convicted felons.”
“The more Bob Casey votes, the more dangerous Pennsylvania is,” the ad concludes.
This is the latest in a $4 million ad buy previously announced by Keystone Renewal PAC, and like previous ads, it will run in the Barre, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Pittsburgh and Wilkes markets. Breitbart News has learned that an additional six-figure amount has been added to the buy to bring the ad to the Philadelphia market.
“Bob Casey knows his open border policies are putting Pennsylvania families at risk, yet he refuses to stand firm and put their safety first,” said Keystone Renewal PAC spokesman Keiran Dorr.
“He’s a mouthpiece for Joe Biden’s radical policies and his record makes him completely unqualified. Voters want someone who will build a wall and strengthen border security, and they deserve Dave McCormick,” he added.
