A new conservative ad attacking Democrat John Fetterman for pulling a gun on an unarmed Black jogger almost a decade ago aims to sway Black voters in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race.
The reported $500,000 ad created by a political committee backing Republican Mehmet Oz, says Fetterman "chased down an innocent unarmed Black man" in his pickup truck, eventually pulling a 20-gauge shotgun on the individual. It is a reference to a December 2013 incident provoked by what Fetterman believed was heard gunshots while he was playing with his son.
Fetterman was at the time mayor of Braddock, a Pittsburgh suburb. Fetterman served in the role for 13 years prior to being sworn in as Pennsylvania lieutenant governor in January 2019.
The ad's release was feared by prominent Black Pennsylvania Democrats even prior to the state's May 17 primary, according to NBC News. Black-heavy populations in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are viewed as an instrumental voting bloc to determine who represents the entire state.
The 30-second spot reportedly started airing Tuesday on networks including Black Entertainment Television (BET), the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), MSNBC, and ESPN, in addition to shorter spots on mobile devices.
Reverend Mark Kelly Tyler, a top Democratic organizer in Philadelphia who helped President Joe Biden win over Black voters in 2020, told NBC News in April that those who believe Fetterman's actions regarding the jogger wouldn't be brought up were "living in fantasy land."
Tyler equated it with Hillary Clinton's use of the term "superpredators" being brought up again during her 2016 campaign.
"This story can become a drumbeat almost every day or just result in one good ad that can depress Philadelphia's turnout by 40, 50,000 votes," Tyler said. "That would be enough to lose the election for us."

Uncle Fester, Gomez is looking for you.
The elephant in the room is PA voter fraud. The PA republican party has not addressed this problem, which has existed for decades. Until voter fraud in Philly, Pittsburgh and other PA democrat strongholds is mitigated, PA republican candidates will continue to lose elections that they otherwise would have won.
Not to worry.
The mail-in ballots will take care of it.
That is some ad.
These will leave a mark.
That’s a good commercial. Short and sweet.
PA GOP isn’t going to do anything because they are corrupt globalist Uniparty hacks. At least the leadership is…
As to fraud costing this election, honestly don’t think OZ is going to make it close without any fraud… though Biden’s current tour de everyone who opposes me is an enemy of the state tour may be so bad even a panty stain like OZ might get dragged over the line
Odd creature...is it part human?
Pulling it out of where?
You show up with a shotgun it's usually pretty straightforward.
It's not like "Surprise!" and you whip it out of your pocket.
“Until voter fraud in Philly, Pittsburgh and other PA democrat strongholds is mitigated, PA republican candidates will continue to lose elections that they otherwise would have won.”
Not just PA Republican candidates, but Republican presidential candidates as well.
From under the back seat of his pickup truck.
How long before the left brings up Willie Horton?
Keep the ad playing until election day. Play it in Pittsburgh and Philly markets.
And how is that going to change. oZ himself has stated he would have certified the 2020 pa vote….
Folks supporting this idiot are beyond help
Some guy just called into Gorka and stated that Fettermanhas racist tattoos that were covered up. He wantsDr Oz to persue this
It is completely depressing that this total waste of human flesh, devoid of any intellectual capacity, is not only in the running for Senator, but is even close enough to get into office WITH cheating.
My heart is aching for this country.
I heard they may have been KKK tats and he hates Blacks. Not good because he needs the Black vote.
