Mr. Bera Goes Washington

Mr. Bera Goes TO Washington

In case you missed it, Nancy Pelosi’s House Majority PAC has released a video in which several Democratic members of Congress are expressing thanks for some Super PAC love – as in millions of dollars in negative advertising love.Bera

This is unprecedented: Despite being barred from coordinating with SUPER PACS, Ami Bera and other sitting members of Congress are now cutting ads thanking Nancy Pelosi’s SUPER PAC for helping them get elected.

Remember when Ami Bera said that outside money was “corrosive to politics?”

That’s a far cry from “We were grateful when House Majority PAC was formed.”

So much for sticking to principles . . .

NRCC COMMENT: “Rather than working to get outside money out of politics, Bera would rather star in an ad to thank Nancy Pelosi’s Super PAC for using special interest money to get him into office. If the headline on November 7th was ‘Mr. Bera Goes to Washington’, less than a month into his term the headline should be changed to ‘Mr. Bera Goes Washington.’” – NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior
