Trump slams Donnelly over ads for Libertarian candidate

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump blasted Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) regarding a report the Indiana Democratic Party is purchasing ads to boost the Libertarian candidate in The Hoosier State’s tight Senate race.

“Rumor has it that Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana is paying for Facebook ads for his so-called opponent on the libertarian ticket. Donnelly is trying to steal the election? Isn’t that what Russia did!?” Trump tweeted Saturday.

The ads could be an effort to divide the Republican vote ahead of an election for a Senate seat that Republicans are keen on flipping. The race as proven to be tight, with The Cook Political Report rating the race as a “toss up,” and President Trump won Indiana by nearly 20 points in 2016.

“The ads ... are paid for by the Indiana Democratic Party. These ads draw attention to Rep. Braun’s record of voting to raise taxes on Hoosiers dozens of times as a State Representative while writing legislation to give himself tax breaks,” the Indiana Democratic Party said in a statement.
