‼️Turning Point CAUGHT Using Their Own Employees As “Ordinary Parents” In FAKE Attack Ads Against Political Candidate In Arizona😱 Turning Point Action has once again been caught presenting paid political operatives as everyday Arizona parents in attack advertisements against Democrat Amish Shah in the AZ-01 race. The Congressional Leadership Fund spots, including “AZ-01: Bad Touch” and “AZ-01: Dangerous,” feature a couple identified only as Hannah and Ben who express outrage over Shah’s record on taxes and a vote related to sex-offender notification requirements for schools. What the ads never disclose is that Hannah and Ben Larrabee both work for Turning Point Action—Hannah as strategy manager for the Chase the Vote initiative and Ben in the group’s political operations since 2017—and both are elected officials on the Fountain Hills Town Council. Hannah has served since 2022; Ben won a seat in July and is set to be sworn in later this year. They have publicly confirmed on social media that the advertisements use their real names and that they stand by the content while openly supporting Republican Jay Feely. Shah’s campaign has responded by highlighting his actual votes to strengthen protections for sexual-assault victims, including support for Kayleigh’s Law, along with law-enforcement endorsements. Independent reviews have noted that the specific school-notification bill he opposed was largely redundant because the Arizona Department of Public Safety already notifies districts of registered sex offenders, and that the attacks distort his overall record. The pattern is familiar. Turning Point still has not released the surveillance footage of the Charlie Kirk statue vandalism at its Phoenix headquarters, which occurred days after the one-year anniversary unveiling. The organization claimed it was reviewing the video and working with police, yet no public release or arrests have followed. The same organization that stages ordinary voters in attack ads has every incentive to control the narrative around its own property. Between the manufactured outrage in these advertisements and the unanswered questions about the statue incident, Turning Point Action’s tactics make a moderate Democrat like Amish Shah look preferable to the alternative they are promoting. Their methods scare me more than the candidate they are attacking. CC: @tylerbowyer, @TPAction @RealCandaceO
