EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Jon Tester's (D-MT) challenger in the Montana Senate race sees the three-term Democrat as vulnerable on a topic that has become red meat for conservatives the last few years — drag queen story hours.
Tim Sheehy, a wealthy businessman recruited by Republican leadership to run for Tester's seat, is airing a new ad, titled"Reporting for Duty," that plays into his background as a retired Navy SEAL."We need strong, conservative leaders who know how to defend America. We need Tim Sheehy," says the voiceover.
Keeping the country safe, Sheehy suggests in the ad, means banning drag queen story hours and other"woke crap" from the military. The three Republicans in Montana's congressional delegation sent a letter to the Pentagon in March arguing such"divisive" events hurt recruitment and damage"cohesion and morale" in the military, but Tester did not address the matter.
“Drag shows are not something that the Department of Defense supports or funds,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said earlier this year.
