GOP Group Pushes for Changes in TV Spot Attacking Scott Perry
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) successfully pressured a liberal group to modify political ads targeting three Republican incumbents.
NRCC officials objected to language in the ads claiming that the lawmakers had forced one-quarter of nursing homes to close, stating that the nursing-homes figure was inaccurate.
- The NRCC’s counsel sent three letters to TV stations in the congressmen’s districts, asking them to take down the ads.
- EDF Action officials initially objected to the demands but later changed the ads.
Instead of saying that Medicaid cuts forced “a quarter” of nursing homes “to close,” the new ads say that “nursing homes may be forced to close.”
EDF Action’s president, David Kieve, defended the ads in a statement.
