The National Rifle Association is launching a multimillion-dollar attack ad campaign against Michael Bloomberg, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel isn’t pleased.
USA Today reports the anti-Bloomberg campaign is starting with a $500,000 ad buy for a commercial titled “Insult.”
The ad tries to tie the former New York mayor’s views on other policies to guns.
