MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — There’s an eye-catching new political campaign ad from Republican U.S. Senate candidate Karin Housley.
It accuses Democratic U.S. Senator Tina Smith of personally profiting from ethically shady business investments. How true is it?
The ad is an homage to a popular Corona beer television commercial featuring a couple sitting on beach chairs on an ocean. Featuring the sounds of ocean waves, and the clinking of champagne glasses as if toasting.
But that’s where the similarity ends. Housley’s ad goes on the attack. Against the serene ocean backdrop, words appear on the screen: Tina Smith “profited from the opioid crisis.”
