New Baldwin ad calls out Thompson on tax returns
A new U.S. Senate ad from Rep. Tammy Baldwin uses former Gov. Tommy Thompson's refusal to release his tax returns as proof that he's changed since leaving Wisconsin for Washington D.C.
The 30-second TV ad, titled "No," features footage of Thompson saying he won't release his tax returns.
"What's happened to Tommy Thompson," the narrator asks before footage of Thompson plays. "For years as governor, Tommy released his taxes. But now that he's made millions working at a D.C. lobbying firm..."
The ad then starts the footage of Thompson saying "The answer is 'N-O.' What part of that don't you understand?" The narrator then asks what Thompson is hiding in the returns.
The ad ends with the line, "Tommy Thompson: He's not for you anymore."
