Misleading Ads

October 18, 2024

Viewers and listeners tell us they are frustrated with negative, misleading ads. Let’s talk about two of them.
Sen. Baldwin, your ad claims Mr. Hovde called farmers lazy. Mr. Hovde, your ad claims Sen. Baldwin funded a clinic offering transgender therapy for minors without parental consent. Both of those ads have been found false by non-partisan organizations. Both ads end with you saying, “I approve this message.” You could pull those ads. Why don’t you?
