Challenger's attack on Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego (D) called antisemitic

The man trying to unseat Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego this November posted a video casting her as demonic on Oct. 11, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, prompting claims of antisemitism.

Matt Evans, a 36-year-old software engineer, posted a video the morning of the first day of Yom Kippur showing Gallego, who is Jewish, with glowing purple eyes, devil horns and red flames.

The minute-long video starts with a clip of Gallego introducing herself as Kate "Widland," her maiden name, then flashes through a series of videos and news clips cataloging controversies Gallego has faced as mayor.

In the background, CIL's 2023 song "Devil In Your Eyes" is playing.
