Vermont senator Bernie Sanders is being attacked in a new ad for not being liberal enough on guns.
“Bernie Sanders is no progressive when it comes to guns,” says a voiceover in the 15-second spot, which criticizes the socialist senator’s votes against two gun-control bills. The ad also notes the National Rifle Association’s support for Sanders. Watch the video below:
The sponsor of the ad is Generation Forward, a super PAC supporting former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley. O’Malley is challenging Sanders for the Democratic nomination for president.
Sanders has been closing the gap with the leading Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, in polls of voters in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire. O’Malley, meanwhile, has been stuck in the single digits in most polls.
