In case you hadn’t heard, Google Ads apparently has a problem with Tennessee GOP Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn:
Google Is Trying To Censor Marsha Blackburn Campaign Ads, Says Videos Of Protestors Interrupting Her Moment Of Silence Are ‘Shocking Content’ https://t.co/IZmfKoLW1H pic.twitter.com/LMEFlKkkCd

More from the Daily Caller:
Google Ads informed the Tennessee Republican Party Tuesday that its digital ads supporting Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s campaign, which included video footage of protestors interrupting her moment of silence for victims of the recent deadly mass shooting of a synagogue, were disapproved because they contained “shocking content.”
Google Ads, an online advertising platform, would not allow the Tennessee GOP to promote two videos for Blackburn’s Senate campaign as search ads because the content doesn’t meet Google’s standards, according to an email sent to the Tennessee GOP.
“Unfortunately, we won’t be able to show your ads on Google, our search partners, or on Display Network placements until you edit your ads or keywords to make them compliant with our policies,” the email, which was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, reads.
This ad indeed contains “shocking content,” but the fault for that doesn’t lie with Blackburn — it lies with the leftist outrage mob:
.@MarshaBlackburn wanted to run an ad showing the disgraceful actions of the Mob interrupting a moment of silence for the #PittsburghSynagogue victims
Google said no
Here's the ad
I can see why they wouldn't want people to see what they get w/ a vote for their Democrats pic.twitter.com/M15r7gWqAK— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) October 31, 2018

No kidding. If we leaned Left, we wouldn’t want people seeing that, either.
Wow

Wow, indeed. But Google’s attempt to bury the ad may wind up backfiring on the Left:
Good ad. It's gonna get more play now that they've tried to censor it.

The ad’s definitely getting a lot more attention now.
