U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler will reserve about $4 million worth of airtime for a trio of new ads pushing back on criticism about her stock transactions during the coronavirus pandemic.

The ads label the scrutiny from opponents, including Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, as “liberal lies” and claim she’s “unfairly targeted all because she’s a strong conservative woman.” One of the spots geared for conservative outlets directly ties her to President Donald Trump.

Replete with American flags and dubbed with uplifting music, each ad highlights Loeffler’s response to the pandemic, noting that she’s donated her pay to coronavirus charities and used her private plane to return stranded travelers to Georgia.

“Kelly Loeffler is all about Georgia,” says the narrator in one of the clips. “And it shows. Everyday.”

The most overtly political ad of the trio, “Strong,” opens with grainy images of Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a narrator intones:

These sweet little innocent snowflakes all mimic Trump and should all be sent packing

"liberal lies"? Did she sell the stock or not?

Did she get briefings or not?

I bet the ad won't address either issue.

those stock sales were pretty lucrative I guess.

Too bad she will likely get away with it.

I dont think she'd be effective. Just your run-of-the-mill backbencher.

If, like me, you detest Doug Collins, just wait. He loves the camera.

And since GA will likely elect a Republican, that's what we need. Certainly, she's an unethical and bad person.

I hate it when someone is richer after years in Congress than before they got there.

Although she was rich beforehand, she tried to get richer! Disgusting!

Unless she pulls something stunning, the race is between Horrible Collins and 2 Democrats.

and abused the power of her office to conduct insider trading in violation of the STOCK ACT.

And why do her ads make Georgia look much whiter than it is. Aren't there any black people in Georgia?

and then lie about it and claim victimization when her felonies are exposed. Yeah, that conservative sort of Republican, you know, like Mitch the Bitch.
