GOPer On Ad With Foley Killer: Journalist Not Depicted Out Of Respect

Republican Allen Weh’s U.S. Senate campaign said a campaign video that featured the image of the masked man that beheaded journalist James Foley did not use Foley’s image itself out of respect for Foley’s family.

“Out of respect for the Foley family, no picture of James Foley was used,” Weh campaign manager Diego Espinoza told Politico in an email published in the Morning Score newsletter. “Tom Udall’s feigned outrage over the inclusion of a now familiar image of this Jihadi terrorist, who is clearly the face of the evil that threatens our nation. [sic] Senator Udall’s comments about our diplomacy being ‘good’ reflect his naivet and inexperience in matters of national security.”
