Republican Mark Kennedy's latest ad offers a softer take but continues to criticize the background of his DFL opponent, Amy Klobuchar. You can watch the ad here.
It features Kennedy, a nice old lady and a park bench. The ad lets the nice old lady ask Kennedy, "Why are you picking on Amy Klobuchar?" and then details a list of his criticisms. The criticism includes plea bargains during her time as Hennepin County Attorney, the rationing of prescription drugs, raising Social Security taxes and giving Social Security to illegal immigrants. She then asks again, "Why did you say all of those things?" Kennedy responds "because they're true." The old lady then responds "Oh, never mind."
Klobuchar's campaign offered a response to the ad here.
