MT-SEN: It Sure Looks Like This GOP Senate Hopeful Doctored One Of His Campaign Ads

The campaign of Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy appears to have doctored a recent TV advertisement to remove a logo of the Property and Environment Research Center from the shirt he was wearing. PERC is a Montana-based think tank with a history of advocating for the privatization of federal public lands, which has become a central issue in the race.

Earlier this month, Sheehy’s campaign sent out public land-focused mailers to Montana voters. The mailer features a picture of Sheehy sitting at a campsite with his family and wearing a flannel shirt with the PERC logo clearly visible on one sleeve.

“Tim Sheehy knows public lands belong in public hands,” it reads.

This reporter posted the image on X (formerly Twitter), and another X user, an apparent Sheehy supporter, accused HuffPost of circulating an edited image.

his term. When Russia and the former East Block countries turned capitalistic state resources were sold off, usually to well-connected oiligarchs. What reason is there to doubt that Trump won't resume his program on steroids if he gets another chance.

Sheehy is a repulsive, selfish, incredibly small man.

Edited to add: To everyone - PLEASE donate to Jon Tester (Senator-MT) if you are able! We NEED him to keep his senate seat against that weasel! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/du4bluesenate
