DeMint-Funded Ad Hits Murkowski For Being ‘Pro-Abortion’ (VIDEO)

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC)

A new ad funded by the group of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), who is supporting Joe Miller in the Alaska Senate race, attacks Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) for her stance on abortion. “There are three Senate candidates. But only one choice to defend the unborn. Republican Joe Miller is pro-life,” the ad says.

It continues: “Scott McAdams and Lisa Murkowski are pro-abortion and they refuse to oppose using your taxes to pay for it.”

Watch:

h/t The Hill.

The TPM Poll Average shows Murkowski (who’s running as a write-in candidate after losing the primary to Miller) just ahead with 36.7%, Miller with 36.0%, and McAdams with 25.5%.
