Fitzpatrick ads cite questionable headlines from ally’s self-published pieces
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick’s campaign ads in southeast Pennsylvania quote sensational headlines from self-published articles by a longtime supporter, rather than independent news sources.
Facing a competitive race, Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick has flooded the region with attack ads that reference headlines portraying his Democratic opponent in a negative light. The ads draw on articles produced by a close ally, which claim the opponent calls himself a king and allegedly holds undisclosed FBI files. These pieces are presented as if they were independent local news reports, though they originate from a partisan source.
