Republican David Vitter has turned to reality TV star Willie Robertson to try to help him move past a years-old prostitution scandal that has been revived in the Louisiana governor’s race.

Robertson, one of the bearded men of “Duck Dynasty,” is featured in Vitter’s latest TV ad, which begins airing Thursday.

“I know he’s made some mistakes, but who hasn’t? The whole story of the Bible is about redemption. I’m concerned about our state,” Robertson says, as he stands with Vitter in front of a vehicle, both men dressed in camouflage.
