Dem Faux Outrage-GOP Used Actors in a Campaign Advertisment!

Okay I’m from LA where commercial production is a big part of our economy and day to day. Is this the best they can do?
A Republican ad that shows a couple of regular-looking guys commiserating in a diner about West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin (D) turns out to have been shot with actors, from a script, in Philadelphia. The casting material was provided to POLITICO by Democrats.
