MT-SEN: It Sure Looks Like This GOP Senate Hopeful Doctored One Of His Campaign Ads

[RandySF]

The campaign of Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy appears to have doctored a recent TV advertisement to remove a logo of the Property and Environment Research Center from the shirt he was wearing. PERC is a Montana-based think tank with a history of advocating for the privatization of federal public lands, which has become a central issue in the race.

Earlier this month, Sheehy’s campaign sent out public land-focused mailers to Montana voters. The mailer features a picture of Sheehy sitting at a campsite with his family and wearing a flannel shirt with the PERC logo clearly visible on one sleeve.

“Tim Sheehy knows public lands belong in public hands,” it reads.

This reporter posted the image on X (formerly Twitter), and another X user, an apparent Sheehy supporter, accused HuffPost of circulating an edited image.

1. Trump started selling off public lands during

his term. When Russia and the former East Block countries turned capitalistic state resources were sold off, usually to well-connected oiligarchs. What reason is there to doubt that Trump won't resume his program on steroids if he gets another chance.

2. Sheehy and Zinke want to carve up Montana for rich white guys like themselves.

Sheehy is a repulsive, selfish, incredibly small man.
