Saxton's False Immigration Ad - Back it Up or Pull It Down
You may have heard about Saxton's latest attack ad, which includes the lie that illegal immigrants are voting in Oregon. Yet in the past 15 years of elections, there are no recorded instances illegal immigrants voting according to the Secretary of State's office.
KATU did a great report on the ad this evening - we've posted it below. But in the critical exchange where the Saxton campaign is asked why they made a false claim they can't back up, his spokesperson responds she "isn't going to get into the nuances of the ad."
It's not a nuance - it's a lie. And if the Saxton campaign can't back up their false claims, the ad should be pulled down.
