Union targets Roy Blunt’s refusal to raise minimum wage in $700K ad campaign

Unions are dusting off a go-to play from their political playbook, hitting congressman Roy Blunt for his refusal to approve minimum wage increases over the years.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) has forked over $700,000 to pay for ads that paint paint Blunt as enemy to the common man, the Hill reports. But Blunt is crying foul, and some broadcasters have already pulled the ads, apparently because the union’s wording wasn’t entirely accurate. (Do political ads have to be accurate? When did they add that rule?)
