“CHICAGO — A new ad that’s been denounced as anti-immigrant, “racist,” “sexist” and “transphobic,” is causing an uproar in Illinois, with leaders from both parties calling for its removal.
But Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives, whose campaign produced the ad in her primary election challenge to Gov. Bruce Rauner, is refusing to pull the spot, saying it exposes Rauner’s “betrayal” of GOP voters.
The new ad mockingly thanks the governor for clearing a path in support of a series of social issues. Then it taps just about every conservative bogeyman in Illinois politics, and every lightning-rod cultural issue.
“Thank you, for signing legislation that lets me use the girl’s bathroom,” says a deep-voiced actor.
“Thank you, for making all Illinois families pay for my abortions,” says a woman wearing a pink hat symbolic of women’s marches. An African-American woman wearing a Chicago Teachers Union shirt “thanks” Rauner for purportedly making the rest of the state bail out city public schools and teachers pensions.
The ad plays off an earlier Rauner ad that his campaign ran statewide for months entitled “Thanks, Mike,” and featured GOP governors from surrounding states thanking Rauner nemesis state House Speaker Michael Madigan for “blocking Rauner’s reforms.”
