One month after its first radio ad used brutal language to try to alienate Hispanics from the woman who would be the first Latina U.S. senator, the group is up with a new spot.
This time, America's PAC, funded by conservative Wisconsin businessman Richard Uihlein (who is also a Rep. Joe Heck donor), goes after former Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto for raising her own pay. This claim already has been called "Mostly False" by PolitiFact, not to mention an AG can't raise her salary -- the Legislature must do so.
Four months to go, and I suspect the outside spending on both sides will be non-stop. Transcript below and audio attached.
MALE ANNOUNCER: The new debt ceiling is now 16.4 trillion. Remember, trillion is twelve zeros.

FEMALE VOICE: (Sigh) That is the same old Democrat plan.

There also is an oblique reference to her ill-fated attempted prosecution of ex-Treasurer Brian Krolicki.
