Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin used a shotgun to literally shoot a lawsuit filed by his Republican Senate challenger, Patrick Morrisey, in a new campaign ad, while calling Morrisey “dead wrong.”
“I haven’t changed,” Manchin asserts in the ad. “I might be a few years older and I’ll still take on anyone that messes with West Virginia.”
“Now the threat is Patrick Morrisey’s lawsuit to take away health care from people with pre-existing conditions,” Manchin continued. “He is just dead wrong and that ain’t going to happen.”
ABC News notes that Manchin, who is in serious jeopardy of losing his Senate seat this election cycle, also ran a similar campaign ad in 2010 when he fired a rifle “at an anti-coal cap-and-trade bill that was supported by members of his own party, including then-President Barack Obama.”
