In some California races that could determine which party controls Congress next year, Republican attacks link Democrats to pedophiles.
A not-so-subtle theme has emerged in recent Republican attack ads in battleground California congressional races: linking Democrats to pedophiles. Take, for instance, the 30-second spot from the National Republican Congressional Committee attacking Democrat George Whitesides, the former NASA chief of staff who is challenging GOP Rep. Mike Garcia in the Antelope Valley in one of the nation's most hotly contested races.
Ben Petersen, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement that Whitesides 'might not like voters hearing he bankrolled soft-on-crime groups, but the facts are clear as day. From zero cash bail to lower penalties for criminals including sex offenders, Whitesides’ money backed it all.' Equality California endorsed a 2020 ballot measure that sought, unsuccessfully, to end the use of cash bail in California.
