Dark money targets Plame in CD3 race
Yet another dark money group has inserted itself into the race for northern New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District seat – this time targeting former CIA operative Valerie Plame with a pair of ads that call her a “disgraced racist millionaire.”
Plame is considered one of the favorites in the Democratic primary, which features seven candidates.
The ads – one in English and the other in Spanish – are produced by the Alliance to Combat Extremism, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit. The ads started airing on such digital platforms as YouTube and Facebook on Tuesday, two weeks before the June 2 Democratic primary. They seize on several issues that have plagued Plame in the past, including her retweet of an anti-Semitic article titled “America’s Jews are Driving American Wars” that appeared on the blogging site Unz Review in 2017.
Plame later apologized for the retweet, saying she sometimes makes mistakes and that one was “a doozy.”
After that retweet, the ads say that former KKK leader David Duke and the Nazi website The Daily Stormer embraced Plame for standing up against Jews.
