Description | The ad touts Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson’s opposition to President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran and features a photoshopped image of President Obama shaking hands with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani — but the two have never met.
The photograph was created from a image of Obama meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan in 2011.
In a press release, Restoration PAC said that that ad was produced by “award-winning ad-maker Rick Reed, who specializes in national security issues and whose Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad campaign was pivotal in re-electing George W. Bush President in 2004.” The release also claims that “noted message expert Frank Luntz” also participated in the project. |
