The Republicans managed to create an anti-Fetterman advert containing no Fetterman. There isn’t a audio or video of Fetterman taking the positions that the advert claims that he holds. The advert quotes Bernie Sanders, however there isn’t a audio or video of Sanders.
As an alternative, Republicans have a white van and a few actors.
The Fetterman marketing campaign responded:
.@the_vello says the advert is “frankly laughable” and asks, “What’s the cope with the white van? Is that the identical van Dr. Oz used to maneuver to PA a number of months in the past?” pic.twitter.com/gm6jq9AIIm

Republicans are probably going to run a candidate that isn’t from Pennsylvania, and plenty of Republicans themselves don’t like. It’s as if the Republicans suppose that screaming Bernie Sanders, Inexperienced New Deal, and radical left might be sufficient to scare Pennsylvania voters into supporting a TV physician who would most likely fail a Pennsylvania geography check.
The anti-Fetterman advert is likely one of the worst of the yr thus far. Republicans should provide you with extra to beat the Lt. Governor, who received all 67 Pennsylvania counties in his main.
Republicans are already prone to have a foul Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, however it’s attainable that they may have an excellent worse marketing campaign.
