Malinowski ad tells voters to ‘reject fear’

Democratic congressional candidate Tom Malinowski has launched a new TV ad urging voters to “reflect fear” after a Republican super PAC spent more than $3 million on ads telling voters to be afraid of him.

The ad, which received four “Pinocchios” from the Washington Post, accused Malinowski of lobbying for terrorists and featured the candidate silhouetted by turbaned men waving assault rifles, adrift in a flaming sea of ammunition, with a looming cartoon Osama Bin Laden head.

“The fear mongering has to stop. The Republican Congress stripped New Jersey taxpayers of their SALT deduction, they withheld Gateway funding, they are intentionally targeting New Jersey and Leonard Lance won’t change that. They want you afraid to keep you distracted, said Benji Schwartz, a spokesman for Malinowski.  “If we’re going to start getting things done in Washington we have to choose to reject fear.”
