Alaska Radio Station Rejects Mitch McConnell Ad as ‘Over the Line in Terms of Decency’
breitbart.com ^ | 9/23/22 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

An Alaskan radio station has denied a vicious ad paid for by Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) Super PAC against Donald Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka because it was “over the line in terms of decency,” Must Read Alaska reported Thursday.

McConnell has supported pro-impeachment and 21-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Alaskan Senate race with huge money from the Senate Leadership Fund, which he controls. The PAC has spent heavily to protect his establishment ally from losing to Tshibaka, who is gaining momentum and tied with the incumbent in the polls.

The McConnell-backed ad mentions an audit involving Tshibaka’s time in the world of inspectors general in the federal government. An internal investigation absolved Tshibaka of any wrongdoing.

She was thereafter named the Acting Inspector General for the Federal Trade Commission.

The ad was rejected by the radio station because it was indecent. The radio station “sacrificed several thousands of dollars by turning down the ad,” Must Read Alaska characterized the decision.

Advisor to the Tshibaka campaign, Mary Ann Pruitt, said in a statement the ad is “full of lies and it’s good that people are recognizing that by refusing to air it.”

You’re in Alaska? What’s your feel for the race? How will you handle ranked-choice? Just vote for Kelly and rank no others?

He’s 80 almost 81 he’ll be gone soon. Time to vet a MAGA replacement and discredit any if known handpicked heir apparent.

I tried to tell Kentucky Freepers that McConnell was a piece of sh*t and we would be better off if he lost.

We didn't lose the Senate that year. We could have afforded to get rid of Mitch the Bitch and we would have still retained control of the Senate.

Was, I’ve lived in AK for the last 33 years.

Ranked choice is a scam

I pick one and that’s it. Dumbasses pick more than one and put a Dem in the House.

I’ll vote for Kelly as the (RNC) ads are transparent bullshit. I was int he miliary for a couple of decades. You DO NOT have to pay back moving costs if the move was job-related. There has been some local coverage on the bogus ads.

I don’t know w single person that has a positive thing to say about MurCowSki. Total sell out on every front. (spits)

Even if Kelly wins, the crooks that run the count may try to pull a fast one. Anchorage has a Conservative Mayor only because he had a crew watch the count house 24/7 and still caught them trying to pull a fast one.

This State has turned into San Fran north.

I was right there with you, and got berated to no end.

But if you recall they scared the hell out of with their “this one seat could be the difference between a Senate minority and a Senate majority!” And they said that about EVERY seat. We won 9 seats in 2014. They were full of $hit with their fear tactics, to protect their incumbents and to get more pantywaists elected.

They do it every time. But this year we’ve paid no attention to them and have nominated conservatives pretty much across the board.

And we’ll see what happens.

I agree with the scam part, but I disagree with choosing more than 1 put a Dem in the House.
The pinko-Dim got in because Begich people only picked 1 or too many chose the Dim as their 2nd choice.
If people had chose Palin as their 2nd, we would have Palin in the House right now.

I remember. It wasn't a popular position in those threads, but it was the correct position.

They try to steer us with fear. I put forth the opinion that Brian Kemp needs to lose his governorship for refusing to do anything about the stolen election, and people use this same fear tactic to say "no, we have to keep the governorship because Abrams will be so much worse."

My position is that backstabbers always need to go. If we would stop letting people get away with backstabbing, they would stop backstabbing us.

If the Ukies can kick the Russkis out of the Ukraine, why the hell can’t the Republicans kick the DemonRATS out of America?

Does that surprise you? Mitch McVonnrll is a son of a bitch himself. He is in the same class as Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. The problem is, as in Graham's case, McConnell is as revered, adored, and worshiped by the voters as Graham is revered , adored, and worshiped by the voters of South Carolina.
