Republican super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund found a way to incorporate comedian Kathy Griffin in its new ad targeting Democratic congressional candidate Jon Ossoff. The ad — which features the controversial image of Griffin holding up a bloodied, detached head resembling that of President Trump — claims Griffin is a "celebrity supporter" of Ossoff, who is running against Republican Karen Handel in Georgia's special House election.
"Liberal extremists have gone too far," the ad declares. Images of filmmaker Michael Moore, protesters smashing windows, and cars on fire flash on the screen before the ad concludes that Ossoff is "one of them."
