Republican congressional candidate Mariannette Miller-Meeks released her second TV ad Tuesday. While her first ad focused on her biography this one hits her opponent, Democrat Rita Hart.
The transcript of the 30-second ad, which will air district-wide, reads:
Narrator: “Liberal politicians in Washington did nothing to protect us from the pandemic. While they bickered, lives were lost, jobs destroyed. Washington Democrats played politics, so did Rita Hart. Democrats refused to hold China accountable, did nothing to stop viruses from Asia, just like Rita Hart. But Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks took COVID seriously. Even warned us it was coming.”
Miller-Meeks: “We can fight this virus, better prepare for the next one, and get Iowa safely back to work.”
The ad caused quite a stir with a tweet. The report later tried to explain away her tweet.
A now-deleted tweet from the liberal, totally biased “fact-checker” at the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Here’s my fact-check: this was intended as a DM to the @dccc or the Hart campaign strategizing the next hit job on another GOP candidate, but she screwed up. I give her a D-. #ia02 https://t.co/QVtjHKj13n
