The GOP was roundly criticized for its early attacks on Democratic candidate for Congress Jon Ossoff when they showed clips of him during his college days drinking and goofing off. Those commercials backfired as they gave the relative unknown a popularity burst that helped propel him into the national spotlight and a near-outright victory in the special election last month.
Now that he is locked in a dead heat with Republican Karen Handel, the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Conservative group that has poured millions into the race, has flipped the script and released perhaps the funniest ad of the cycle, targeting Ossoff for his California-based funding and appeal to out of state liberals.
See the ad below, and stay tuned to see if the Dems can come up with a witty retort to fire back in coming weeks.
