Republicans are accusing Democrats of appeasing China as part of an accelerating advertising campaign to hold the White House and win seats in Congress this November.
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry launched the latest salvo in this expanding offensive. After state lawmaker Kate Bolz won the Democratic nomination in Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District, Fortenberry targeted his challenger with digital and radio advertising that suggested she is defending China despite mounting evidence that Beijing covered up the coronavirus outbreak and caused needless deaths and economic devastation in the United States. Senior Republican strategists expect this message to dominate the fall campaign at all levels.
