Tim Sheehy is first Republican to use Trump conviction as campaign tactic
Republican Montana Senate candidate Tim Sheehy became the first Republican to run a campaign ad featuring former President Donald Trump‘s conviction.
The ex-Navy SEAL used the historic conviction to attack his opponent, Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), as complicit in the persecution of Trump. Tester is a rare Democrat to occupy a Senate seat in a deep-red state where Trump is overwhelmingly popular.
“It’s lawfare, a state-sponsored political persecution led by Joe Biden and the radical Left,” the ad said. “They want to throw Trump in jail, trying to rob Americans of their choice in the election, and Jon Tester is standing right by their side.”
The video featured footage of Tester saying he wanted to “punch [Trump] in the face,” saying that “Tester even advocated for violence against President Trump.”
Trump endorsed Sheehy in February.

Conservative firebrand spotlights Trump conviction in attack ad on vulnerable Dem senator
A Republican strategist says the GOP is "going on offense" on the campaign trail over former President Trump's criminal trial convictions
Republicans are capitalizing on the polarizing conviction of former President Trump in his criminal trial.
As they aim to win back the Senate majority in November's elections, the GOP is going on offense in reliably red state Montana, where Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is fighting for his political life.
Tim Sheehy, the overwhelming frontrunner for the Republican nomination in Tuesday's primary in Montana, is launching an ad this week that charges "Jon Tester supported Joe Biden's witch hunt."
It is the first spot in a crucial Senate race to highlight the verdict in Trump's trial.
