Former Club for Growth President and incumbent GOP Senator Pat Toomey has opened up a new line of attacks against his Democratic opponent Katie McGinty: taxes.

Sen. Toomey wants to hang Governor Wolf’s 2015 tax proposals around the neck of McGinty, who was Wolf’s Chief of Staff at the time.

The thirty-second spot, titled “Clobbered”, seeks to swipe a Democratic trope and accuses McGinty of being an out-of-touch millionaire.

“As Tom Wolf’s Chief of Staff, millionaire Katie McGinty pushed the biggest tax increase in decades,” a female narrator states. “Every working Pennsylvanian would’ve been clobbered.”

“Now, McGinty is proposing middle-class tax hikes so big, even Hillary Clinton won’t go that far,” a male narrator adds. “McGinty’s backed over $3,000 more per household.”

“Millionaire Katie McGinty thinks working Pennsylvanians should pay higher taxes. She can afford it,” the female narrator concludes before the male narrator adds “We can’t.”

The latter proposal mentioned is Kirsten Gillibrand’s Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act.

It’s worth pointing out that this commercial seeks to paint McGinty as to the left of Hillary Clinton. This may be an attempt to convince voters to cast a split Clinton-Toomey ballot given the fact that Toomey is running ahead of Trump.
