Scalise shooting used in attack ad against Jon Ossoff

Truly deplorable and sick.

YouTube: head of the highly anticipated Tuesday special election in Georgia’s 6th District in which Democrat Jon Ossoff is hoping to end Republicans’ stranglehold on the House seat, a fringe conservative group is running an ad tying Ossoff to the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA).

No, really. This is not a joke.

Principled PAC is running an ad called ‘Stop the Violent Left.’ Backed by a small five-figure ad buy, the commercial will run on Fox News Sunday and Monday.

In the 30-second spot, video footage of Scalise being taken away on a stretcher while a narrator claims that the “unhinged left is endorsing and applauding shooting Republicans.”

“When will it stop?” the voiceover continues. “It won’t if Jon Ossoff wins on Tuesday, because the same unhinged leftists cheering last week’s shooting are all backing Jon Ossoff. And if he wins. They win.”

Of course, the ad doesn’t actually point to anyone actually “applauding” the shooting, but it does make use of Kathy Griffin’s infamous Trump photoshoot.

As for the PAC itself, conservative commentator Laura Ingraham has warned in the past that they are nothing more than trolls, taking issue with them trying to raise money for their group based the possibility she might run for the Senate.
