Ads have opposite effect

Sat., Aug. 4, 2018

Shawn Vestal’s July 25 column calling out Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers’ hypocrisy hit the nail on the head.

Ms. McMorris Rodgers’ insinuation that Lisa Brown somehow supports sex offenders is not only offensive but ignores Ms. Brown’s legislative record and the facts surrounding the bills at issue - facts that are easily discovered by a quick Google search.

It is these out-of-context-half-truth attack ads, among other things, that are making this fiscally conservative, socially liberal veteran and small business owner vote Democrat this time around.
