Those of us living outside of North Carolina have likely missed it, but residents of the state have been marveling for nearly a week now at a Sen. Kay Hagan campaign radio spot that attempts to tie Hagan’s GOP opponent, Thom Tillis, to the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.

Friend of Twitchy Sister Toldjah captured and posted a broadcast of the radio spot.

American Commitment president Phil Kerpen makes the point that has been lost on so many who followed the George Zimmerman trial.

Digusting Reid/Hagan ad blaming Thom Tillis for Trayvon Martin gets most basic fact wrong. Zimmerman did not assert SYG defense.

Did Reid Super PAC ask @TomSteyer and @MikeBloomberg before using their money for disgusting race-baiting ads???

— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) October 25, 2014

Dems know their race-baiting attacks are likely to provoke backlash. But they are desperate. Nothing else is working to juice turnout.

Race-baiting is just what Southern Democrats do. Always has been and always will be. Targets change but tactics don't. Shameful.

Don't care what your polls or statistical models say, when Dems are down to "Tillis killed Trayvon!," Hagan is losing.

How are they gonna put Trayvon Martins death on Tom Tillis?

Wow.. now the bullshit is getting ridiculous. . @kayhagan blaming @thomtillis for killing Trayvon (cont) http://t.co/qLEJVUEt2p

I heard one of those Tom Tillis commercials today and it basically said it was his fault that Trayvon Martin was killed. Politics are bs.

@michellemalkin Radio ad this morning on WJMH in Durham blames Thom Tillis for Trayvon Martin. Not sure if it was PAC or Hagan ad.

Just heard on @k975 that @ThomTillis policies led to Trayvon Martin's shooting. Yeah. @blackrepublican

These Tom Tillis and Kay Hagan ads are getting out of control. Apparently Tillis caused the shooting of Trayvon Martin…. Like really…..

@SenatorHagan is a horrible person for standing by this http://t.co/HDrs7D5te9 @afpnc @NCCivitas @kerpen @NCSPINtweets @politico @NCForward
