Senate Republican campaign arm hits Dem senators over Clinton remarks

Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is out with a new suite of digital ads Monday that ties red-state Democrats to dismissive comments from Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE about supporters of President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE. 

The new ads, which will air in states that Trump won in 2016 where a Democratic senator is now up for reelection, uses footage from two Clinton speeches — one from the 2016 campaign and one from a discussion in India earlier this month.  ADVERTISEMENTThe ad plays video of the famous line from the 2016 campaign that saw the Democratic nominee and former secretary of State pan half of Trump supporters as part of a “basket of deplorables.” Then it pivots to the more recent footage, where Clinton framed supporters of Trump’s campaign as people who want to look “backwards.”  The ads end by mashing up footage of the Democratic senators campaigning for Clinton with her controversial comments.  It’s the latest attempt by Republicans to poke at the scabs of a bruising 2016 election and mobilize voters around opposition to Clinton.  It’s not the first time Clinton has found her way into GOP Senate advertising. Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley’s campaign created a similar digital ad earlier this month that tied his opponent, Sen.

During an interview on MSNBC’s “Kasie DC” on Sunday, McCaskill called on Clinton to “be more careful and show respect to every American voter, and not just the ones who voted for her.”
