Kentucky’s Republican nominee for Senate, Rand Paul, isn’t the only Paul upset over Democrat Jack Conway’s notorious Aqua Buddha ad.
“I am truly shocked by Conway’s ads questioning Rand’s faith based on nothing more than anonymous accusations from nearly three decades ago,” Kelley Paul told reporters today, according to a report from CNN’s Peter Hamby.
Paul said that she and her husband have “attended a Presbyterian Church in Bowling Green for nearly two decades” and are both “devoted Christians.”
She claimed that Conway’s ad was an attack on her family, one she appeared to find reprehensible.
“Jack Conway has a family too, and while I’m sure he isn’t thinking about it right now, these personal attacks hurt people’s families,” she said, according to Hamby. “I’d have thought someone with a beautiful baby daughter would take that into account, no matter how desperate he may be to win.”
Here’s the ad Paul’s so upset about, as a reminder:
The TPM Poll Average shows Rand Paul leading the Kentucky Senate race 46.9-42.6.
