Over the Top? Ad Depicts Rep. Allen West Punching Old White Woman [Video]

Tweet

A new YouTube ad depicts Congressman Allen West punching two women, one of them elderly. In the video, he also steals a little cash and runs off with the money. So what’s the problem? Some conservatives have gone on record to call this attack over the top.

This is what West had to say about the new ad:

I spent my life in uniform fighting for our great nation and protecting all Americans. The ad being run against me by my opponent’s family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible. It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors.
