RickPAC Ad Defends Veto, Features Lehmberg's Arrest
In an ad featuring clips of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg's outrageous conduct during her 2013 drunken driving arrest, Gov. Rick Perry's federal political action committee defends Perry's veto of funding for the state's public integrity unit, which is housed in the Travis County DA's office.
The nearly two-minute ad from RickPAC shows a timeline of Lehmberg's arrest and conviction. Along with clips of her arrest, the ad features comments from Perry's statement Saturday addressing his indictment. "We don't settle political differences with indictments in this country," Perry said.
