Barr goes low with ad

Andy Barr should be ashamed. He has taken Nancy Jo Kemper’s “I think we’re on the right track” comment in a TV interview and somehow turned it into scare tactics in his latest ad.

Kemper is stating the truth about the economy and concern about issues like poverty, Social Security and Medicare. Yet, Barr has turned it into a rant about ISIS and terrorism — absolutely no connection with what she said.

America is great and will continue to be with a woman like Kemper representing us in Congress.
