According to Politico, “NARAL Pro-Choice and its Colorado branch are launching a $450,000 ad campaign against Republican Cory Gardner, highlighting positions on climate change and birth control for women.”
Well, that sounds pretty typical of a last-minute campaign attack, but have a look and listen to the actual television and radio ads. They’re suggesting that a vote for Cory Gardner will lead to floods and get this, condom shortages:
And believe it or not, the radio ad is worse:
Sweet Pea!
NARAL is being widely mocked — and rightfully — for the ads:

This NARAL ad claiming Cory Gardner will cause a condom shortage is even more comedic than I thought: http://t.co/y9xN9KuLLR

NARAL, Planned Parenthood & co have so overplayed their hand in Colorado it's not even funny. Congrats Sen. Gardner. https://t.co/Zvf9Nouksf
