Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Michelle Nunn is pushing back against
David Perdue's despicable, false ads claiming that, under Nunn's leadership, George H.W. Bush's Points of Light organization funded terrorists. Nunn's simple, spare ad focuses on a decency and character message, hitting Perdue hard for his lies while claiming the moral high ground:
David Perdue is running ads saying that while I led President Bush's Points of Light foundation, we funneled money to terrorists.
That’s a terrible lie, and an insult to the millions of volunteers I worked with to make a difference. David Perdue's ad has been called the worst in America, and President Bush's son called it shameful.
I'm Michelle Nunn. These kind of attacks are what’s wrong with politics. I’m determined to bring decency to Washington.
Perdue's ads have been near-universally trashed by fact-checkers, with excerpts of those trashings shown briefly during Nunn's ad. Nunn's ad, meanwhile, is drawing
positive local coverage.
