The ousted Montco Republican swatted after supporting Kamala Harris appears in campaign's new ads airing in swing states

Matthew McCaffery, the ousted Montgomery County Republican official who was swatted after speaking out against former President Donald Trump, is now featured in new ads for Vice President Kamala Harris airing across swing states beginning Thursday evening — including Pennsylvania.

McCaffery, 43, a veteran who lives in West Conshohocken, has been featured on “Republicans Against Trump” billboards in Pennsylvania, penned an Inquirer op-ed against Trump, and spoke about supporting Harris on CNN before his home was swatted in August, a prank in which someone calls in a fake emergency to draw police to a specific address.

McCaffery, the head of risk management at a grocery store, was then ousted from his position as a Montgomery County Republican Committee member and the chair of the Upper Merion Republican Committee, just days after the incident for encouraging people to vote against the party. He later voiced support for Harris in a video displayed at the DNC, and is involved with a Philly-based ”Haley Voters for Harris” group.

In one of two new ads featuring the Montco Republican, McCaffery says he voted for Trump and went to his inauguration in 2016. The ads are his first direct collaboration with the Harris campaign.

...I suspect there must be many more who will do so in the privacy of the voting booth.
