A national organization, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, released an ad Tuesday targeting U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz for “promoting White nationalism and antisemitism.”
The video ad, titled “Getting to Know Matt Gaetz”, aims to “educate voters” on Gaetz’s controversial history. The ad will be featured on digital platforms and will target swing voters within the Republican Congressman’s district.
“Floridians deserve a congressman who doesn’t spread messages from White supremacists or hang out with white nationalists,” said Bend the Arc: Jewish Action CEO Stosh Cotler. “Jewish Americans in Florida and across the nation are rising up to build a country that is truly for all of us, and that includes holding people like Matt Gaetz accountable for using antisemitism and bigotry to fuel division and hatred.”
The organization’s video cites, among other things, Gaetz’s 2018 invitation of a Holocaust denier to President Donald Trump‘s State of the Union address.
Meanwhile, the organization has also launched a petition against the Panhandle congressman.
The petition calls on Gaetz to condemn two congressional candidates he once endorsed, Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Laura Loomer, for “racist” rhetoric. It also calls for him to stop spreading “anti-semitic conspiracy theories” and apologize for hiring Darren Beattie, a former staffer who the group claims has ties to White nationalists.
“When politicians like Rep. Matt Gaetz put Florida Jews and our neighbors in danger, it is our responsibility to rise up and take action,” said Karyn Frank, a leader with Bend the Arc: Jewish Action Florida. “We won’t tolerate Gaetz, or anyone, using antisemitism to generate fear and expand their own wealth and power.”
Bend the Arc: Jewish Action describes itself as a progressive Jewish movement that advocates for justice and equality.
Gaetz represents Florida’s Congressional District 1 and is looking to stave off Democrat Phil Ehr in the General Election.

When our Flag was/is desecrated time after time by leftist who support Biden, (Democrats said nothing..Trump did.) or when professional athletes taking a knee during the pledge and national anthem (Democrats said nothing, Trump did.) Americans should have woken up then. How about when the pledge isn’t said at Democrat events? or no prayer…. still sleeping?
TRUMP/BIDEN 14 CRUCIAL POSITIONS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF:
1. Free Healthcare for Illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients & their families. Taxpayer-funded with one estimate at $52 trillion.
Biden Yes.
Trump No.
2. Citizenship for 30 to 50 million illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients, and their families with a cost of billions to taxpayers.
Biden Yes.
Trump No.
3. De-fund Police. Biden is doing his best to walk this back. In the Senate (so there’s a record), Kamala Harris called it “re-imagine law enforcement.” Biden recently stated he was in favor, quote “redirecting law enforcement funds.” If Biden/Harris is elected, you know what will happen.
Biden Yes.
Trump No.
4. Taxes. Biden has stated he will raise taxes to over 4 trillion. With this Democrat platform, he will have to.

7. Reparations for the race’s harmed by Caucasians (already starting in California) Biden & Kamala Harris committed to Al Sharpton to support Sheila Jackson Lee’s reparations bill in the House. Basically, a tax will be levied on all people of Caucasian descent in America. The funds distributed to African Americans.
Biden Yes.
Trump No.
8. Coal / Fracking: I don’t understand how voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia can even consider voting for Biden? You do realize that as soon as Biden/Harris takes office. Fracking, Coal Mining jobs are long gone You’re voting for your own unemployment in these states people. The Democrat Governors in these states know this and still support Biden. Sacrifice jobs of their citizens for a Biden Presidency.
Biden Yes.
Trump No.
9. The 2nd Amendment will be under attack even more under Biden. Biden stated, “Beto O’Rourke will be his gun Czar,” “Hel yeah I’m coming for your guns.”
Biden Yes.
Trump No.
10. Medicare for all: Ending of all private / employer-based health care Feds run everything. This is Kamala Harris’s baby. Kiss goodbye to your healthcare plan if Biden/Harris is elected. Taxpayer-funded at a cost of trillions.

I’m not sure this campaign will persuade voters to abandon Gaetz in that part of Florida.
