A political action committee heavily invested in a competitive congressional race debuted a hard-hitting ad attacking a rapper-turned-Democratic nominee for Congress over his controversial lyrics.
The New York Post reports:
“Meet New York City liberal Antonio Delgado. Before moving upstate to run for Congress as [House Democratic leader] Pelosi’s candidate, Delgado was an L.A. rapper called AD the Voice,” said the ad paid by the Congressional Leadership.
It then bleeped out provocative lyrics about having sex to a porno flick.
The ad also claimed that Delgado “laced his lyrics with extremist attacks on American values,” criticized American presidents and “minimized 9/11” as footage of the burning World Trade Center towers appeared on the screen.
Delgado is a Schenectady native, Rhodes scholar and Harvard Law school graduate who became a lawyer following his rap career.
His race against Republican incumbent John Faso is considered a toss-up according to RealClearPolitics.
