Alan Grayson Runs TV Ad During Democratic Presidential Debate

U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., is taking to the TV airwaves during the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday night. 

Grayson, now running for the U.S. Senate, will run an ad showcasing his opposition to the House committee investigating then U.S. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of the Benghazi attacks in 2011. Clinton is the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary field. 

The text of the ad is below:

Announcer: "First, Alan Grayson called out the Benghazi Committee on its partisan witch-hunt."
 
Chris Cuomo: "... it was an unfair investigation. The man making that case and saying it's an ethical violation is Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson."
 
Announcer: "Then Grayson filed charges."
 
Tamron Hall: "Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson filed an ethics complaint against McCarthy..."
 
Announcer: "The next day, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy surrendered."
 
Grayson: "I filed an ethics complaint against McCarthy yesterday and today he drops out of the race."
 
Ed Schultz: "Alan Grayson is undoubtedly the progressive warrior."

Grayson: "I’m Alan Grayson.  I approved this ad."
