Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator From Nebraska Confuses Her State With Pennsylvania.
Sen. Deb Fischer, who’s facing a tough race this November, recently put out a campaign ad that described Nebraska as a “great place to raise families,” while showing beautiful, sprawling footage .... of anywhere but Nebraska.
Most of the footage comes from stock images titled “Patriot American Flag Flies over Anytown, USA,” sourced from various parts of the northeast. The New Republic’s Paige Oamek found one of the clips in the ad comes from a small town in Pennsylvania.
“Maybe if Deb spent less time at fancy D.C. fund-raisers schmoozing her big corporate donors, she’d actually be able to recognize the state she’s running for Senate in,” said Navy veteran and independent challenger Dan Osborn. “Since Deb so badly wants a New England vacation, Nebraskans will happily fire her on Nov. 5.”
The Osborn campaign also called back to Fischer’s prior uses of inaccurate stock footage to portray Nebraska, namely Ukraine and Romania.
