JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.

This is what hypocrisy looks like. A “No Kings” rally led by someone who’s been in power longer than most kings in history. This is what hypocrisy looks like. The average person in Massachusetts is 40, yet Ed Markey has been in office even longer. This is what hypocrisy looks like. 72% of voters demand an audit and are ignored. This is what hypocrisy looks like. That’s not democracy, that’s a system protecting itself. Stand with me this November and let’s put power back where it belongs.

TacticThe ad deploys visual irony by literally crowning the opponent as a monarch to mock his 'No Kings' messaging, fusing humor and outrage to delegitimize a long-tenured incumbent.
