Veterans slam indicted GOP congressman's false and racist ad

By Eric Boehlert - October 16, 2018

Duncan Hunter is running one of the most hateful campaigns in the country this year.

California Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter is struggling to win re-election while under federal indictment for bank fraud — and he’s also running one of the most offensive, unapologetically racist campaigns in the country.

Hunter’s Democratic opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar, is Christian. His Mexican-American mother raised him after his Palestinian father left the family when he was a boy.

But that hasn’t stopped Hunter from launching virulently Islamophobic, unhinged conspiracy theories that Campa-Najjar’s heritage makes him a threat to national security.

Now, however, veterans are pushing back on Hunter’s racist lies.

This week, Hunter got three retired U.S. Marine generals, all of whom are now registered lobbyists, to sign off on a hateful campaign letter sent to San Diego voters.
