Twitchy reported on reaction to what may be the “dumbest campaign ad of the year.” If you thought the NARAL ‘Sweet Pea’ radio ad on Cory Gardner was bad, wait until you see the TV version!
The story gets better though. It seems liberal billionaire Tom Steyer probably bankrolled the ridiculous ad. Steyer’s NextGen Climate Action Committee reportedly gave $239,000 to a Colorado NARAL affiliate the day before they spent the money on the spots accusing Cory Gardner of wanting to ban birth control.

Steyer gives up on global warming, spends $239K on idiotic ad saying Cory Gardner will ban condoms. http://t.co/zu4aXIK7Hs

You’re kidding. MT @seanmdav: looks like Tom Steyer's climate change PAC paid for that terrible anti-Gardner ad in CO http://t.co/eQqBqnpeYs

So @TomSteyer, was the condoms ad your own stupid idea or were you ripped off by one of your consultants???

We’re sure that Harry Reid will have a strongly worded statement condemning Tom Steyer’s billions being used to make dishonest attacks. Right?
