California Democrat runs ad on Fox with anchors slamming his GOP opponent

Source: Sacramento Bee

Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, has faced intense media scrutiny since his August indictment for campaign finance violations and other charges, including from normally Republican-friendly Fox News. Now, his Democratic opponent in the November midterm elections is using that Fox News criticism in a new campaign ad.

Ammar Campa-Najjar tweeted the ad, which shows clips from a variety of Fox News programs, on Thursday.

“Indicted Congressman Duncan Hunter is paying for ads to what should be his base — Fox News — to defend his embarrassing, criminal actions. So we’re airing this ad on Fox News & letting their anchors do the talking for us,” Campa-Najjar tweeted.

Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, falsifying records, conspiracy and campaign finance violations.

went all in for Shitler's campaign...and after.

As could most Democrats because Fox speaks out of both side's of it's propaganda mount on a lot of stuff. They hope their brain dead viewers I will forget...they need reminding.

...and the knuckle-draggers that compose the majority of it would re-elect Attila The Hun.

Heavily Gerrymandered.

Fingers crossed.
