Democratic Senator Masterfully Uses Opponent's Own Words Against Him In Brutal 5-Second Ad

Tammy Baldwin For Senate

Senator Tammy Baldwin used a clip of Republican Eric Hovde saying he's "supposedly the jerk from California" as the entirety of her new ad for U.S. Senate.

After Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde referred to himself as "supposedly the jerk from California," Senator Tammy Baldwin—who is running for reelection to the U.S. Senate—used the clip of his remarks as the entirety of her latest campaign ad.

Although Hovde was born and raised in Wisconsin, Baldwin and her supporters have attempted to portray him as more Californian than Wisconsinite due to his ownership of a $7 million estate in Laguna Beach and his West Coast-based Sunwest Bank.


If elected, Hovde would rank among the wealthiest members of the Senate, according to his campaign finance report, which reveals assets valued between $195 million and over $564 million. In contrast, Baldwin reported assets ranging from $601,000 to nearly $1.3 million.

During a recent debate in Madison, hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, Hovde referred to himself as "supposedly the jerk from California" before pulling out a utility bill from his Madison home. He then challenged Baldwin to produce 10 years' worth of utility bills to prove her place of residence.

That's all he needed to say for Baldwin's campaign to release a 5-second ad that used those words against him before concluding with:

"I'm Tammy Baldwin and I approve this message."

You can see the ad below.

It was shady as hell—and people loved every second of it.



Hovde, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has previously made headlines for sharing baseless claims and conspiracy theories alleging voter fraud.

Hovde has claimed drop boxes undermine "confidence in our voting system" even though they've been used in Wisconsin for years and became more prevalent in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this year, he was criticized after claiming "almost nobody" who is in a nursing home "is at a point" where they should be able to exercise their right to vote.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
