DCCC targets GOP-ers’ supplemental vote in July 4th ad
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) took aim at seven House Republicans for voting against the emergency war supplemental in an ad set to air over the Fourth of July holiday.
The ad takes aim at potentially vulnerable incumbents for voting against the continued funding for troops; the lawmakers voted against the supplemental because of the attached funding for the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Invoking the image of troops on the holiday, the ad says the GOP members “used to understand that” the Fourth of July is “about remembering those who fought for our freedoms.”
It accuses the lawmakers of “playing politics” with troop funding now that the party in control of the White House has changed.
The ad targets GOP Reps. Ken Calvert (Calif.), Charlie Dent (Pa.), Jim Gerlach (Pa.), Dan Lungren (Calif.), Mike McCaul (Texas), Lee Terry (Neb.), and Joe Wilson (S.C.).
