Americans for Job Security goes after Hovde on TV
A new TV ad from Americans for Job Security attacks Hovde, alleging his actions in the private sector clash with his claim that he's a conservative.
The 30-second ad, entitled "Says and Does," begins with a chart and two pictures of Hovde. The two sides are labeled "Says" and "Does."
"He says he was against bank bailouts, but invested in banks that got billions," The narrator says. "Says he's fine paying higher taxes, but was sued for tax evasion. Says he's from the private sector, but his business was built on government-assisted transactions and took millions in stimulus cash."
The ad ends with the narrator saying "Eric Hovde: Sound like a conservative to you?"
