a little drama via e-mail, Fetterman v Lamb:

Remember the TV ad that Conor Lamb’s super PAC is spending nearly half a MILLION dollars on?

You know, the one I emailed you about this morning?

Well, my team just confirmed that the attack ad was pulled down from Channel 6 — one of the largest local television stations in PA — for making false claims against yours truly. 🙄

In case you were wondering, it’s not often that a political ad debuts, then gets pulled in a matter of hours. To put it this way, I put on my suit more often than this actually happens.

But I guess that’s what you get when you spend money attacking a fellow Democrat with lies. They really posted an L this time.

As much as I wish I could get back to celebrating my son’s birthday (he turned 8 today!) it’s looking pretty likely that Lamb’s super PAC is gonna edit the ad + get it back on the air ASAP.

When they do, we gotta be ready, which is why I have to ask:

Good rebuttal here - he can hold his own against the best in the business.

his voting record isn't so Democratic.

One of only 3 Democrats to vote to make the tax cuts for the rich permanent.
Voted twice against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House.
Voted against president Obama's clean water initiative.

All he has is the Willie Horton ad and fossil fuel super pacs backing him.

If one of the “squad” did that they would be overturning bingo tables.

his early votes I am convinced he would be more like a Manchin than a Sherrod Brown. And while we need to hold Manchin and Sinema's seats...we don't need another Senator cut from the same cloth. We would end up with even more gridlock. Plus I think Fetterman can win...love the guy.
