John Bolton airs TV ad attacking MD senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks
Raw StoryThe ad looks like any political TV attack ad: Gray, grainy images. The ad, which began airing this week, targets Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Instead, it’s paid for by the John Bolton PAC, the political action committee of John Bolton, former President Donald Trump’s one-time national security adviser, and the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under former President George W. Bush. Alsobrooks’ answer is lies and excuses.” The images then switch to pictures of foreign leaders: Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China, and Ayatollah Sayid Ali Khamenei of Iran. Asked if he plans to caucus with Republicans if he’s elected to the Senate, Hogan replies, “Of course I am, I’m a lifelong Republican.” The ad ends with the standard disclaimer from the Democrat: “I’m Angela Alsobrooks, and I approved this message.” Bolton’s ad buy is part of a more than $1 million investment he is making in the Senate race on Hogan’s behalf, though the PAC and the former governor’s campaign cannot coordinate activities.
