Vance, a GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, is out with a provocative new television advertisement on Tuesday calling out establishment media outlets for claiming Americans who want to secure the border and stop the flow of illicit drugs are \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you a racist?\u201d Vance says to open the ad, staring directly into the camera. \u201cDo you hate Mexicans? The media calls us racist for wanting to build Trump\u2019s wall. They censor us, but it doesn\u2019t change the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Then Vance claims Democrat President Joe Biden is responsible for the deaths of Americans as a result of illegal drugs flowing across the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden\u2019s open border is killing Ohioans,\u201d Vance says. \u201cWith more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country. This issue is personal. I nearly lost my mother to this poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Vance\u2019s intense focus on immigration \u2014 and particularly the drugs coming across the open southern border \u2014 is likely a winner of an issue for him in the home stretch ahead of the May 3 GOP primary for U.S. Senate in Ohio. It also means that while several of his opponents are focused on personal attacks against each other \u2014 the first Senate debate saw Josh Mandel and Mike Gibbons nearly come to blows on stage \u2014 Vance is focused on the core issues voters care about. Vance has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/25\/j-d-vance-goes-three-for-three-in-post-debate-straw-polls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">won<\/a> every post-debate straw poll since, including that first one, surging at just the right time ahead of the primary.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has done nearly 50 town halls across Ohio:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NoBSTour?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NoBSTour<\/a> in mid-January &#038; since then, I&#8217;ve done nearly 50 town halls across Ohio. <\/p>\n<p>While other candidates are hiding from Ohio voters &#038; only doing the occasional pre-scripted event, we&#8217;re gaining momentum by taking our message directly to the grassroots. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OHSen?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OHSen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A7dNx1vn88\">pic.twitter.com\/A7dNx1vn88<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 J.D.
