Connecticut Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal on Friday launched a new TV ad that accuses his Republican rival, former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, of working to kill steroid and drug testing laws in various states.
The 30-second spot is among Blumenthal's most critical of McMahon, who was the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment until last fall. Citing news articles and various state records, the ad accuses McMahon of hiring lobbyists to help her "duck taxes, kill steroid and drug testing laws, and avoid health and safety protections for her workers."
Blumenthal's ad was viewed by The Associated Press before it was scheduled to be broadcast. It was to begin airing hours after McMahon released a dueling spot that features footage of the Democratic state attorney general answering a question, posed by McMahon during a debate this week, about how to create a job.
The ad insinuates that Blumenthal's lengthy answer proves he "can't create jobs, can't help Connecticut."...More?
