#NVSen: Desperate to Muddy Ethics Waters, Berkley Invents Fiction

Her Medicare Lies Aren’t Working So She’s Resorting to More Lies

(Las Vegas, NV) – Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, who is now under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, is so desperate for a seat in the United States Senate she will say or do anything to try to bring Dean Heller to her level.  With her new ad, Congresswoman Berkley is attempting to create an issue that simply does not exist.

“Obviously, Shelley Berkley’s lies about Medicare are not working, so now she is inventing new ones. Congresswoman Berkley is a desperate politician whose ambitions are being destroyed by her own ethics problems. This is a story that Shelley Berkley has been trying to sell to reporters for months, but no one would buy it because there were no facts to support her allegations. So now she has resorted to running a blatantly false negative attack in a desperate attempt to create more fiction. What’s next, Congresswoman?  Is Dean Heller responsible for Bernie Madoff?” said Chandler Smith, Heller for Senate spokeswoman.

The facts:

Dean Heller has never received any federal campaign contributions from any person employed by CMKM Diamonds. The contributor Berkley uses in her ad was not employed by CMKM Diamonds, there is no evidence that the SEC brought any charges against him or even mentioned him in their complaint. He is a contributor to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee and to other members of the Nevada delegation.

Dean Heller was never contacted during any part of any investigation into CMKM Diamonds because he was in no way responsible for or related to any of the company’s wrongdoings.

Shelley Berkley is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for using elected office for personal gain.  Shelley Berkley’s campaign has become increasingly desperate and has poured more than a million dollars into ads to refute the charges. Clearly, they aren’t working.
