Republican Candidate Demands Democrat Opponent Halt Mockery Over ‘Fake Family’ Claims
Eugene Vindman, a Democratic congressional candidate in Virginia, has received a cease-and-desist letter from his MAGA-endorsed opponent, Derrick Anderson. The letter demands Vindman stop airing adverts that poke fun at Anderson for using images of a “fake” family in his own adverts. Vindman’s adverts include a voiceover stating “Derrick Anderson was caught using a fake wife and kids for his campaign”, and images of an Anderson lookalike playing with cardboard cutouts of children. The images used in Vindman’s adverts are publicly available on a National Republican Congressional Committee databank. The Anderson campaign contends that Vindman is using the images to lie to voters about who they are.
