GOP Hypocrites Launch “Spending Spree” Attack Ads

The Washington Post reports:

A Republican group with close ties to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will launch a new front Wednesday in the ad wars over the Democratic domestic policy bill, opening a $10 million ad campaign targeting three vulnerable senators.

One Nation, the issue advocacy arm of the Senate Leadership Fund, plans to air television, radio and digital ads criticizing Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.) and Maggie Hassan (N.H.), all of whom face voters in 2022 and have been supportive of President Biden’s agenda.

The ads, which will be paid for by undisclosed donors, describe the potential Democratic bill as a “multitrillion-dollar spending spree” and “the largest tax increase in decades” that will lead to further inflation. “It’ll cost you,” runs the slogan repeated across ads in the series.

Oh so now that a Democrat is in the White House Republicans suddenly oppose “multi trillion dollar spending sprees.” The sad part is that the blatant hypocrisy probably won’t matter to the voters they’re targeting. https://t.co/C8PrNWaEPs
