Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has a new TV ad against his challenger in the Republican primary, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, continuing to hammer away at Hayworth over his involvement in a 2007 infomercial promoting questionable seminars for “free money” in government grants.
The ad uses video of Hayworth’s very unfortunate original reaction to the story: “One of the staples I learned growing up is caveat emptor — buyer beware.” Hayworth subsequently released a more detailed apology for the infomercial.
The announcer says: “J.D. Hayworth. Pork barrel spender. Lobbyist. Huckster. Voter beware.”
