TV ads expose Senate hopefuls Ernst and McConnell’s ties to the Koch brothers

By . Friday, August 29 2014

MoveOn has launched two 30-second TV ads featuring audio recordings of Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst and Senator Mitch McConnell — both caught on tape pandering to a room full of right-wing billionaires like Charles and David Koch.

Ernst thanks the Koch brothers, crediting them with acting as the foundation of her political “trajectory.”

Watch the Ernst ad:

McConnell also credits the Koch brothers and tells the crowd that the day a measure passed to get big money out of politics was the “worst day” of his political life.

Please share these new ads with everyone you know, so that more people understand how beholden the GOP candidates are to the Koch brothers and their network.
