GOP super PAC launches ad tying Pa. Dem to Pelosi on taxes

BY NAOMI JAGODA - 02/07/18 09:27 AM EST

A super PAC tied to House GOP leadership released a television ad on Wednesday that links the Democratic candidate in a special election in Pennsylvania to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) "crumbs" comments on the new tax law.

The Congressional Leadership Fund's ad connects comments from 18th congressional district Democratic candidate Conor Lamb suggesting that the GOP tax efforts are a "complete betrayal" to comments Pelosi made that the law is "armageddon" and that the bonuses companies have announced are "crumbs."

"Pelosi and Lamb. Too out of touch. Too many taxes," the narrator says in the ad, part of a $1.7 million buy.

Republicans believe that hammering Pelosi on taxes will be a winning strategy for them, arguing that attacks on the California Democrat helped them in a special election for a House seat in Georgia last year.
