The Cuccinelli for Governor Campaign today released its latest television ad that responds to attacks pushed by Terry McAuliffe and his allies.
“As a career influence peddler and political attack dog, Terry McAuliffe is willing to do anything and say anything to get elected,” said Dave Rexrode, Cuccinelli for Governor campaign manager. “That of course includes the millions in negative television advertisements he has launched, which have been labeled false by multiple fact-check organizations. Today, we’re setting the record straight. Virginians deserve a governor who will be honest and won’t just tell them what he thinks they want to hear. Ken Cuccinelli will be that kind of governor. Terry McAuliffe is incapable of it.”
The McAuliffe campaign responded to the ad in a statement today from spokesperson Josh Schwerin.
“For an ad called ‘Facts,’ it omits quite a few about how Ken Cuccinelli accepted and then failed to report thousands of dollars in gifts, trips, and a $1,500 turkey dinner from Star Scientific and its CEO Jonnie Williams while their tax bill sat unpaid,” Schwerin said. “Between his involvement in this major gifts scandal and the Inspector General’s investigation of his office for helping out-of-state-energy companies over Virginia landowners, Ken Cuccinelli can’t hide the facts about his record of putting his own interests first.”
