The National Republican Congressional Committee on Wednesday released a new ad titled "Corrupt," which targets Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) for her handling of the scandal involving her now-former IT staffer, Imran Awan.The "five-figure ad buy" starts out with a police chase, in which a police car is following another vehicle to an airport."July 2017: a congressional aide to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Imran Awan, was arrested trying to flee the country," a narrator says during the police chase scene. "Instead of joining her Democratic colleagues, Schultz waited until after the arrest to fire Awan.""Imran Awan was later charged with bank fraud and is suspected of exposing sensitive government information," the ad continues. "Rather than admitting to a scandal, Wasserman Schultz blames the arrest on racial profiling and Islamophobia."The ad then includes audio from Schultz's interview with the Sun Sentinel earlier this month, in which she said, "I believed that I did the right thing and I will do it again.""Scandals, lies, and corruption. That's Debbie Wasserman Schultz," the narrator concludes. TIM CANOVA is her Primary Challenge in the 2018 Election.
