Republican Daniel Davis has launched a new commercial ahead of the May 16 general election for mayor of Jacksonville, explicitly attacking his Democratic foe, Donna Deegan, for attending Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020.
The ad shows footage of reporters talking about the violence that took place after the protests, which police said were not linked to the BLM march, intercut with three uses of a clip where Deegan says, “I went to every one of those Black Lives Matter protests.” The spot concludes with video of the Democrat calling for a “civilian review board that helps to hold our police officers accountable” before it flashes to another clip of a police car being attacked.
