Republican Senator Jon Husted is in a heated race for reelection in Ohio. Recent developments have put his campaign in the spotlight for unexpected reasons.
A senior campaign member has drawn attention due to questionable social media actions. This individual previously used an image of SS soldiers as a Facebook profile picture. Additionally, they curated a playlist with songs lauding Rhodesia. Rhodesia, a now-defunct nation once under White-minority rule, is often glorified by white supremacist groups.
After inquiry from The Post, Husted’s campaign decided to sever ties with the political director implicated in these actions. The campaign’s swiftness highlights the sensitive nature of social media’s impact on political campaigns.
