Dole Ad: Hagan’s Faith Isn’t the Question

A new ad by Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s (R-N.C.) campaign dismisses criticism that it’s questioning Democrat Kay Hagan’s faith, yet it still tries to link her to atheists.

A Dole ad released Tuesday attacked Hagan, Dole’s opponent in her Senate race, for attending a fundraiser hosted by an adviser to the Godless Americans political action committee. Hagan, a former Sunday School teacher, responded by charging Dole with “bearing false witness” against a fellow Christian.

Dole’s new ad, released Friday, begins with a narrator declaring that Hagan’s faith isn’t the question. The narrator goes on to suggest that the Democrat still erred by going to the fundraiser, which other people wouldn’t have attended.
