Summary:
A Republican candidate in Illinois is running TV ads using fake headlines.
Jim Oberweis launched the ads against the frontrunner in the state's GOP gubernatorial primary, Judy Baar Topinka. He accuses her of being part of a "culture of political corruption." Besides Oberweis's fakery, he misleads by resurrecting decade-old allegations that came to nothing. |
