Buck Campaign Pressures Bennet on Dishonest, Negative Attack Ads
 

DENVER – The Buck campaign released a new radio spot today, quoting The Denver Post criticism of appointed Sen. Michael Bennet and his “despicable ads.”   

Buck campaign manager John Swartout called on Bennet to take down the ads--                                                                                                                     

“It’s time for Senator Bennet to own up to his negative attacks, especially after investing over $500,000 of his own wealth to keep these ‘sleazy’ ads up on the air over the final weekend.   Colorado voters are tired of this kind of negative campaigning and deserve more from their elected official.”

Though he has been called out by almost every major news organization for running “misleading” and “sleazy” attack ads, Bennet has embraced the Washington negativity. 

At the CBS 4 debate, Bennet implied that Reality Check reporter Shaun Boyd was not telling the truth when it came to his negative ads.  This wasn’t the first time that Bennet blamed the media, instead of taking responsibility for his own actions.  When questioned about his negative spots at the Club 20 debate in September, Sen. Bennet said that the media was wrong for calling him out for his dishonest negative spots.

“Coloradans expect honesty from their Senator, even if he is only an appointed one,” added Swartout.
