GOP senators targeted by super PAC ads on Russia
By Karoun Demirjian February 23 at 5:12 PM
Russia is making an early debut on the 2018 campaign trail as a Democratic group targets two Senate Republicans up for reelection for their stance on investigating President Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin.
American Bridge — a super PAC promoting Democrats — this week will release advertisements targeting GOP Sens. Dean Heller of Nevada and Jeff Flake of Arizona. The ads blast the Republicans for failing to endorse calls for an independent commission to investigate what intelligence officials say are links between Russia and the Trump team.
The ads accuse Heller and Flake of “turning a blind eye” to “how deep Donald Trump’s dangerous ties to Russia go,” and encourage viewers to “tell him to put country ahead of politics and demand an independent investigation into Trump and Russia.”
No money will be spent for the ads to be aired on television, however. The ads are only being circulated this week on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Next week, they will be shown on YouTube and via other Web video, with the whole campaign running over the next two weeks.
