The National Republican Senatorial Committee has released an advertisement on the Web regarding Attorney General Richard Blumenthal’s statements about the Vietnam War.
The ad includes clips from Chris Matthews of MSNBC, who has become one of Blumenthal’s biggest critics.
A spokeswoman for Blumenthal, Maura Downes, could not immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday night.
WNPR’s John Dankosky says that the smiling photograph of Blumenthal that is used in the ad actually came from WNPR, which does not endorse any candidates. He is asking for it to be taken down.
