Buck Releases New Radio Spot—“Too Weak”

“Michael Bennet. Too weak to tell the truth.  Too weak for Colorado.”

DENVER—The Ken Buck for Colorado campaign released a new radio spot today, taking appointed Sen. Michael Bennet to task for his smear and run campaign. 

“Michael Bennet’s campaign strategy is to lie to voters,” said Buck’s campaign manager John Swartout.  “He can’t run on his own record.” 

Today, new unemployment numbers were released showing an additional 95,000 Americans were sent to the unemployment line. 

“The nation’s 9.6 percent unemployment rate and $13.6 trillion is the Bennet legacy,” added Swartout. 

The spot quotes Denver Post columnists, saying--  

“‘theappointed senator has waged a scorched-earth campaign against Buck, despite many truth-tests and fact-checks finding the ads wanting.’

“And he poses this question for Bennet--

“‘If you have to rely on distortions and falsehoods to make your argument, how can you expect anyone to trust you?’”

“Bennet has proven himself to be too weak to tell the truth, and too weak to do what’s right in the U.S. Senate,” added John Swartout.   “Ken Buck is the only candidate in this race who will stand up for the people of Colorado.”

With false ads that have created a firestorm of criticism.

The Denver Post says - “Bennet’s attack on Buck unfair.”

“Bennet is “Avoiding the issues . . . the ads are insulting  .  a columnist writes.

Another says, “the appointed senator has waged a scorched-earth campaign against Buck, despite many truth-tests and fact-checks finding the ads wanting.”
