House Republicans Launch New Anti-Soros Ad After Bomb Attempt on Billionaire Democrat Donor

House Republicans’ campaign committee released a new ad attacking billionaire Democratic donor George Soros as a “radical” on Wednesday, just two days after a bomb was found in Soros’s mailbox.

The new ad from the National Republican Campaign Committee’s independent expenditure arm, entitled “Owes,” is aimed at Minnesota House candidate Dan Feehan, who is locked in a close contest with Republican Jim Hagedorn.

Soros is portrayed as one of the shadowy forces who “own” Feehan, because of donations from a Soros foundation to the Center for a New American Security, where Feehan is a fellow.

“Look at who finances Dan Feehan’s employer,” the ad’s narrator reads. “Radical George Soros, Wall Street’s biggest banks, a crooked lobbyist tied to Pelosi.”

repeating the conspiracy theories about Obama and Soros backing illegal immigrants and the caravan. It's hard to wrap my head around an educated person believing these theories. Also an attorney showing how partisan you are. Don't know if it would hurt his business because this area is three quarters republican.
