CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman says Rep. Ron Paul’s supporters are out of line with a web ad that uses images of Huntsman’s adopted daughters to argue that he doesn’t hold American values.
The ad, posted by “NHLiberty4Paul” includes images of Huntsman with his adopted daughters from China and India and calls him “the Manchurian candidate.” In Concord Friday, Huntsman called the ad “stupid” and said he objects to suggesting that there is something sinister in his decision to adopt.
Paul’s New Hampshire spokeswoman says she doesn’t know who posted the ad. She called it utterly distasteful and says no one who really supports Paul’s principles would have made it.
