Arizona Ad Sparks Racial Backlash | Phoenix News

A new political ad in Arizona is sparking outrage across the political spectrum after targeting Republican candidate Kimberly Yee with racially charged stereotypes tied to her Chinese American heritage. Critics call it lazy, offensive, and deeply troubling, citing offensive sound effects and visuals. Yee herself called it “revolting,” blaming her primary opponent, Tom Horne, despite the ad being funded by out-of-state groups like Conservatives for Effective Government. Horne denies any involvement and has condemned the ad as an appeal to ethnic prejudice, urging its removal. Even Democratic opponents and the Arizona Asian Chamber of Commerce are speaking out, stressing that racism has no place in politics and should not distract voters from policy. The funding group remains silent, leaving tensions high as Election Day nears.
