'Disgraceful': Trump super PAC unloads on Tester in new ad

President Donald Trump’s political operation is intensifying its offensive against Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), launching a new TV ad labeling him “disgraceful” and “dishonest” for his role in taking down a Trump Cabinet pick.
“In Montana, we value integrity and support our president,” says the ad from the pro-Trump America First Action super PAC. “But Jon Tester spread false information about a respected Navy admiral, helping D.C. Democrats derail President Trump’s Veterans Affairs nominee.”
The spot goes on to say that Tester, one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents up for re-election in 2018, “betrayed our trust, our veterans and our president,” concluding that “it’s time for him to go.”
Trump has vowed to exact revenge on Tester for helping to sink Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, who’d been Trump’s choice to run the Veterans Affairs Department. The president, eager to go after a Democratic incumbent confronting a treacherous re-election bid, has accused Tester of spreading false information about Jackson’s background in an effort to destroy the nomination.
