Sen. Daniel Inouye: Hoekstra Ad ‘Outrageous’

If you haven’t seen the ad that Michigan Republican Pete Hoekstra’s U.S. Senate campaign ran during the Super Bowl: Brace yourself.

It targets Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, giving her the nickname “Debbie Spend-it-Now.”

--------

Sen. Daniel Inouye issued this statement about the ad on Tuesday: “Pete Hoekstra’s advertisement is outrageous. America should expect much more from a candidate for a high federal position. His racist thoughts are not welcome in the United States Senate.”

...you must really be out of line. Some might say Dan Inouye is old and in the way, but I value his service to his country.
