Ahead of the highly anticipated Tuesday special election in Georgia’s 6th District in which Democrat Jon Ossoff is hoping to end Republicans’ stranglehold on the House seat, a fringe conservative group is running an ad tying Ossoff to the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA).

No, really. This is not a joke.

Principled PAC is running an ad called ‘Stop the Violent Left.’ Backed by a small five-figure ad buy, the commercial will run on Fox News Sunday and Monday.

2. Why would we expect different?

That's what political campaigns do. They seize on anything they can turn into a memorable soundbite or snark.

4. Why doesn't our side start running ads like that?

It's not like they haven't given us plenty of material. If we don't start playing serious hard ball, I'm afraid we're going to be toast.
