Did you just get catfished by a political ad? If you have been scrolling on Facebook or Instagram lately, maybe.
A group called "Progress 2028" has paid for Facebook and Instagram ads that give the impression that they’re promoting Vice President Kamala Harris’ agenda on polarizing issues, including immigration, gun control and hydraulic fracturing aka fracking. But the Harris campaign isn’t behind the ads, and they distort her platform.
"Did you know?" one ad reads, alongside a picture of Harris smiling and holding a microphone. "A national, mandatory buy-back program means fewer guns & fewer tragedies. Kamala Harris gets it!"
