The Democratic National Committee today is going on television with a second ad pushing general election themes you’ll see this November, attempting to define Minority Leader John Boehner as lobbyist-friendly.
“He wants to be Speaker, but we all know who John Boehner really speaks for,” the narrator states as the screen flashes: “John Boehner: A Speaker for Big-Time Lobbyists.”
The citations in the ad are from this yesterday’s New York Times story suggesting Boehner is tight with lobbyists. Boehner’s office strongly pushed back on the piece, which ran over the weekend.
The new DNC ad piggybacks on this new ad we wrote about over the weekend, suggesting Boehner (R-OH) would be happy to outsource American jobs if the Republicans take over House control this fall. The two ads will run in a rotation this week on national cable.
It also comes as the White House promises they won’t let up on Boehner’s tax cuts position any time soon.
