Super Bowl Will Feature Antisemitism Commercial From Robert Kraft-Backed Advocacy Group


Super Bowl LVIII broadcast to feature ad focused on antisemitism from advocacy group backed by Patriots owner Robert Kraft

The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, an advocacy group backed by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, will run a 30-second spot during CBS’ February 11 broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII, ensuring that a serious note will sound amid many silly ones.

In 2017, in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election that put Donald Trump in the Oval Officer, a lesser-known supplier of building materials known as 84 Lumber, ran a spot centered on a Mexican mother and daughter as they try to journey to the United States that urged viewers to check out the ending — in which the pair are blocked from crossing the border by a large concrete wall — online.
