Koch Brothers-Backed Ad Uses Paid Actors To Attack Mary Landrieu

The conservative nonprofit group Americans for Prosperity (AFP), which is backed by the Koch Brothers, released an ad Wednesday attacking Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) over her support for the Affordable Care Act. But as ABC News reported Thursday, the people appearing as Louisianans in the spot are paid actors.

In the ad, the actors open their mailboxes while a narrator describes letters from insurance companies saying their family's plans are no longer available, doctors are no longer in their network and their monthly premium has increased.

The Landrieu campaign hit back Thursday against the use of professional actors portraying the state's residents.

"Hiring professional actors to impersonate Louisiana families is low even for the billionaire Koch brothers, who are spending millions to distract voters from their campaign to kill bipartisan flood insurance reform, our state's top legislative priority with unanimous support from our Congressional delegation," the campaign said in a press release. "If the Koch brothers had even a shred of credibility before launching their latest misleading ad campaign against Sen. Landrieu, they've surely lost it now."
