| Rusty Red State Candidates With Rusty Values This afternoon I saw an ad being run by a SuperPAC supporting Dan Osborn ('Nebraska Values PAC') against Sen. Pete Ricketts (R) of Nebraska. It's a brutal ad about a brutal crime. (You can watch it here.) A woman identified as 'Jody S.' speaks over a montage of a crime scene imagery explaining that in 1993 an intruder broke into her home, tied her to her bed and violently raped her while her children listened to everything. A man named John Arias was arrested, pled guilty, was convicted and sentenced to prison. We then fast-forward to then-Gov. Pete Ricketts casting the deciding vote as the member of a pardon board that ultimately pardoned Arias. Jody S. notes that Arias told her she would never be safe from him and that he was now off the state sex offender registry and allowed to own a gun. She also notes that she wasn't even informed about the pardon until after it happened. |
