Two Democratic groups are rolling out a new ad featuring a fake Republican lawmaker who wants to ban porn nationwide, the latest installment of the groups $2.5 million ad campaign accusing the GOP of interfering in peoples lives.
In the 30-second ad rolled out by Progress Action Fund and Defend the Vote, called Republicans Rubbing You the Wrong Way, a young man is shown watching porn, before an actor playing a Republican congressman takes away his phone.
What the hell man! Howd you get in here? the man asks the lawmaker. Im your Republican congressman. Now that were in charge, were banning porn nationwide, the congressman says. You cant tell me what to do! Get out of my bedroom you creep! the man replies, before the congressman says, I won the last election, so its my decision. Im just going to watch and make sure you dont finish illegally.
The ad, which was first shared with The Hill, is part of two Democratic groups larger $2.5 million ad campaign, which has aired several ads attacking Republicans over reproductive access. The ad campaign will stream on connected TVs, online and streaming services in all seven battleground states.

From further in the article -
Though the ad is hyperbolic in nature no political party is seriously likely to ban porn
EXCEPT there is THIS -
COMSTOCK ACT (that was thrown into a postal bill under reconciliation rules back in 1872).
The last revisions came in 1994. They haven't repealed the whole thing yet.
