TRENTON, N.J. — Kitchen Table Conservatives, a Republican-aligned Super PAC, launched a digital ad campaign Monday targeting New Jersey gubernatorial candidate and talk radio host Bill Spadea, accusing him of supporting amnesty for undocumented immigrants.
The ad, which debuted on Inauguration Day, draws a sharp contrast between Spadea’s statements on immigration and former President Donald Trump’s hardline border policies. The video features clips of Spadea describing himself as “a little more liberal than my conservative friends” and expressing support for amnesty and pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
“Spadea cannot be trusted to work with President Trump to keep our families safe,” the PAC said in a statement accompanying the ad. The group characterized Spadea’s stance as inconsistent with conservative values, particularly on border security and immigration enforcement.
The ad, titled “More BS from Bill Spadea,” will target Republican primary voters statewide on digital platforms. It juxtaposes Spadea’s remarks with Trump’s 2016 campaign pledge to deport undocumented immigrants, underscoring the PAC’s claim that Spadea’s policies are out of step with the party’s base.
Spadea, a prominent talk radio host and political commentator, has not yet publicly responded to the ad or the accusations made by Kitchen Table Conservatives. The ad marks an escalation in the race for the Republican nomination, as candidates face increasing scrutiny on hot-button issues like immigration.
