The White House afterwards:
The message sent in a campaign ad from a congressional candidate from Virginia is nothing short of reprehensible. Leaders from across the political spectrum — starting with Leader Pelosi — must swiftly condemn this abhorrent message,” White House spokesman Raj Shah said on Thursday
Barbara Comstock responded to the Ad:
“Helmer has been saying this to the applause of his fellow Democrat candidates in order to get attention and major funding from extreme left-wing mega donors like Tom Steyer,” she said in a statement. “It’s an outrageous and offensive thing to say, and beyond the pale. In Congress, we have been standing with President Trump, on a bipartisan basis to strengthen our military, defeat ISIS and battle terrorism, and make the world safer," Barbara Comstock tweeted on Thursday.
