ICYMI: TV stations take down inflammatory GOP ad about North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Cheri Beasley in response to complaints about inaccuracy [CBS News]
TV stations in North Carolina pulled an ad by the campaign arm for Senate Republicans after they were informed it had a false statement and language about North Carolina Democratic candidate Cheri Beasley and her record as a former state Supreme Court chief justice.
“The defendant was not set free by the ruling as the ad claims. CMG will not run the ad when it contains a false statement on material issue. This ad has been removed from airing,” wrote a representative for WSOC-TV and WAXN-TV in Charlotte, N.C., in a letter first obtained by CBS News.
“Washington Republicans have been caught lying about Cheri Beasley’s record and their false attack was rightfully taken off television,” wrote Beasley campaign spokesperson Dory MacMillan. “Voters know Cheri worked with law enforcement to hold violent offenders accountable.”
