Democratic Super PACs Deploy Misleading Obama Endorsement in Michigan Primary
Breaking Points
AIPAC Deploys Obama Ads to Save Flailing Establishment
"President Obama trusts her and so do I. Um Stevens has millions of dollars, ten more than tens of millions of dollars flooding into this race on her behalf from a variety of super PACs, including some that are backed by Apac. This is a mailer that's going out to homes around Michigan that says, Similar quotes. Haley Stevens was a critical part of my team that helped the American auto industry come roaring back."
Super PACs backing Haley Stevens are running ads and mailers using old Obama quotes about her auto bailout work to create the false impression he has endorsed her in Michigan's Senate Democratic primary against Abdul Elsad, when he has not made any endorsement. Voters are reporting they plan to vote for Stevens specifically because they believe Obama backs her, even though they ideologically align with her opponent. The UAW, which actually endorsed Elsad, issued a cease and desist to one super PAC for using their logo in ads supporting Stevens.
