NRCC Launches Paid Ad Campaign Hitting Democrats for Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On day one of the Democrats’ government shutdown, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) launched a paid advertising campaign targeting Democrats for shutting down the government and putting politics over people.

“While Democrats shut down our government to bankroll handouts for illegal immigrants and appease their radical base, Mike Lawler and Republicans are focused on keeping the government working for New Yorkers. The contrast couldn’t be clearer, and New Yorkers know they have a fighter with Mike Lawler.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

SCRIPT:

Democrats shut it down

CLIP (News Anchor): “As you know, Democrats are pushing for the shutdown, and they will get blamed if it happens”

Democrats refused to fund the government

So now military troops, police and Border Patrol lose their paychecks

Because of Democrats, veterans, farmers, small businesses lose critical funding

Disaster relief, cut off

Democrats are grinding America to a halt

In order to give illegal immigrants free health care 

Tell Democrats: Stop the shutdown
