Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton released an ad that will air in Minnesota and Wisconsin that slams Joe Biden as the candidate that rioters in cities such as Kenosha and Portland want to be elected come November.
“Over 80 days of riots,” a narrator says at the start of the ad. “The liberal mob is becoming more violent. Now, they’re coming for your homes. They’re coming for your business, your job, and there’s nowhere to hide. The violent mob wants Joe Biden to be president, and then, no one will stand in their way, and no one will be between your family and the mob. Don’t let them win. Vote Republican.”
Cotton shared the ad on Twitter Monday, saying, “Now that his polls are changing, Joe Biden is going to pretend to oppose the liberal mob.”
“Nonsense. He knows that he owns this,” he continued. “And this ad will be running in Wisconsin and Minnesota to make sure voters know too.”

“Joe Biden can’t stand up to the liberal mob because the rioters and left-wing radicals in our cities’ streets are his base,” Cotton said in a statement. “President Trump is prepared to help local leaders restore order, but if Joe Biden takes charge, the riots and destruction will accelerate.”
Breitbart News spoke with an adviser to Cotton, who addressed a recent poll out of Wisconsin that showed support for Black Lives Matter protests dropped 13 percentage points between June and early August.
“This ad is designed to remind voters that Trump is prepared to assist local authorities in restoring order — and also that if Joe Biden is elected, the disorder in our cities will only accelerate,” the adviser said.
The ad comes after Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by police last weekend in Kenosha during an arrest when he reached into a car.
