MT Veteran: “Pure privatization sounds like pure horse [bleep] to me”
Today, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is releasing a new radio ad in the Montana Senate race, “Veterans.”
The spot features Montana Veterans slamming Tim Sheehy for calling Veterans’ benefits “handouts” and for advocating for the “pure privatization” of all health care, even the VA, which would turn Veterans’ care over to corporations and cut benefits.
The ad will reach voters on radio starting today as part of the DSCC’s previously announced $79 million advertising plan.
