A Paul Ryan-allied super PAC on Tuesday released a new television ad criticizing Jon Ossoff, the Democratic candidate in the runoff to fill an open U.S. House seat in Georgia, for taking campaign contributions from out of state.
The 30-second spot from the Congressional Leadership Fund attempts to mock Ossoff as “San Francisco’s congressman” and align him with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
“We’re proud that California is the leading funder of the Jon Ossoff campaign,” a woman standing on a San Francisco street says in the ad.
The Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC arm of the American Action Network, a nonprofit aligned with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), said in a statement that the ad will begin airing on Tuesday as part of the $6.5 million the super PAC has pledged to infuse into the Georgia special election.
Watch the ad below:
So it’s supreme court validated “free speech” when the traitors do it but when progressives do it there’s something sinister about it? Do tell…
Is there anything dumber and more cynical than a SuperPAC run by out-of-state money raised by Paul RAyn accusing Ossoff of raising out-of-state money?
The attempt at obfuscation is mind-blowingly idiotic.
They know what buttons to push for the redneck constituents they hope will vote AGAINST Ossoff.
This ad pretty much has it all (except two gay-men kissing) it has the uppity female college student, the dirty hippy, SAN FRANCISCO! (the modern Sodom) and the implication that “them thur’ furri’ners (in California) is trying to TAKE AWAY OUR ELECTION!”
It is not aimed at you. That is why you find it amusing.
Out-of-state donations are terrible! Now, when do I get my checks from the NRA, Heritage Action, and Club for Growth?
Bogeymen only go so far. More to the point, Handel is a terrible candidate as evidenced by how this former SoS for the State of Georgia doesn’t want everyone to have enough time to register to vote. She puts partisan politics above the rights of the electorate and the state. Good thing the court stepped in and overruled her opinion. She’s shit outta luck and registrations are happening, no doubt to the Republican party’s dismay.
