The new ad from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee features images from the World Trade Center. No, not the Boston World Trade Center. The World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan that was destroyed on 9/11. Ben Smith, of Politico, grabs the story and gets the following comments from press people.
A National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman, Brian Walsh, attacked its use.
"Using the image of a site where over 2,700 Americans died in a terrorist attack to distort Scott Brown's position on regulating Wall Street is both distasteful and disrespectful. Martha Coakley should immediately renounce this ad and call for it to be removed from the airwaves," he said.
A spokesman for the DSCC, Eric Schultz, said the image should not have appeared in the ad, and that it was being pulled and aired with a different image.
The video has been removed from YouTube and cannot be viewed at this time.
The Coakley campaign is a real life, walking, talking, face palm. |
