Grimes' 'Proud Man' ad raises eyebrows
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Senate nominee Alison Lundergan Grimes has raised a few eyebrows with a recent TV spot. The ad, called "Proud Man," highlights the Kentucky Democrat's grandparents' struggles to pay medical bills after her
"His last ten years, he couldn't speak or work," Grimes says of her grandfather in the spot, "and they could barely afford the medicines." "Our life became something else," Grimes' grandmother says. "No vacations, no retirement." One hiccup: During the time period when Grimes' grandparents were struggling with basic necessities, her politically connected father made some hefty campaign donations and oversaw multimillion-dollar business deals. "Grimes comes from a wealthy family," the AP noted in its write-up on the ad. "Her father owns several successful businesses, and records show her family has made political contributions of more than $100,000 over the years." Per the AP report, a statement from the Grimes campaign said her grandparents "wanted to do it on [their] own" and are proud people. Posted by: Fred 2014-09-27 |
