Democratic Dark Money Group Ran Deceptive Ads

“A dark-money group aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer helped pay for deceptive ads aimed at depressing Republican general election turnout in 2018,” Axios reports.

“These attacks came not during GOP primaries, but within weeks of the 2018 general election, as Democrats explored ways to drive a wedge between Republican candidates and their most ideologically committed voters.”

For example, ads were run against Josh Hawley (R-MO) seeking to paint him as a “pro-government gun control, career politician.”
