The first Republican attack ad is running against John Fetterman across Pennsylvania, and it is awful.
The ad:
Just as Conor Lamb and his allies warned, the NRSC is running a TV ad attacking John Fetterman for ties to Bernie Sanders and other progressive positions.
But they had to make do with actors, rather than actual footage of him saying or doing things. pic.twitter.com/WRhCouR3Hq

The Republicans managed to create an anti-Fetterman ad containing no Fetterman. There is no audio or video of Fetterman taking the positions that the ad claims that he holds. The ad quotes Bernie Sanders, but there is no audio or video of Sanders.
Instead, Republicans have a white van and some actors.
The Fetterman campaign responded:
.@the_vello says the ad is “frankly laughable” and asks, “What’s the deal with the white van? Is that the same van Dr. Oz used to move to PA a few months ago?” pic.twitter.com/gm6jq9AIIm

Republicans are likely going to run a candidate that isn’t from Pennsylvania, and many Republicans themselves don’t like. It is as if the Republicans think that screaming Bernie Sanders, Green New Deal, and radical left will be enough to scare Pennsylvania voters into supporting a TV doctor who would probably fail a Pennsylvania geography test.
The anti-Fetterman ad is one of the worst of the year so far. Republicans will have to come up with more to beat the Lt. Governor, who won all 67 Pennsylvania counties in his primary.
Republicans are already likely to have a bad Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, but it is possible that they could have an even worse campaign.
