U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler will reserve about $4 million worth of airtime for a trio of new ads pushing back on criticism about her stock transactions during the coronavirus pandemic.
The ads label the scrutiny from opponents, including Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, as liberal lies and claim shes unfairly targeted all because shes a strong conservative woman. One of the spots geared for conservative outlets directly ties her to President Donald Trump.
Replete with American flags and dubbed with uplifting music, each ad highlights Loefflers response to the pandemic, noting that shes donated her pay to coronavirus charities and used her private plane to return stranded travelers to Georgia.
Kelly Loeffler is all about Georgia, says the narrator in one of the clips. And it shows. Everyday.
The most overtly political ad of the trio, Strong, opens with grainy images of Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a narrator intones:

Did she get briefings or not?
I bet the ad won't address either issue.

(2,343 posts)I dont think she'd be effective. Just your run-of-the-mill backbencher.
If, like me, you detest Doug Collins, just wait. He loves the camera.

(2,343 posts)And since GA will likely elect a Republican, that's what we need. Certainly, she's an unethical and bad person.
I hate it when someone is richer after years in Congress than before they got there.
Although she was rich beforehand, she tried to get richer! Disgusting!

And why do her ads make Georgia look much whiter than it is. Aren't there any black people in Georgia?
