A national news organization took notice this week that Rep. Mary Peltola is lying about Republican candidate Nick Begich, who she accuses of planning to destroy all fish in Alaska, outsource all jobs to other countries, and somehow remove all children from the state of Alaska.
Peltola’s campaign has hit some new lows in Alaska politics. “Nice Mary” has turned into “Vicious Mary” during the last days of the campaign. Some of Peltola’s bizarre ads are illustrated by these two found on her website, which she refuses to remove:
Republican candidate Nick Begich called out Peltola during the fisheries debate in Kodiak for lying about him with her ads.
“I think it’s also important that we be honest in politics. And you know, I’m seeing ads right now from, again, one of my opponents up here on stage that says, if you elect Nick Begich, there’ll be no more fish,’” Begich said. “Well, that is ridiculous, and that is shameful, and for her to maybe run ads like that that she approved from her campaign, lying to the people of Alaska, that’s wrong,” he added.
Peltola responded that she knew nothing about the ads.
“I don’t know what attack ad is being referred to. I know nothing of this,” she said at the fish debate. “That was not my ad there. There are a lot of ads out there. I know I’ve had seven million dollars and attack ads over the last few weeks, and it’s time that I stand up for myself and stand up for Alaskans and say enough is enough: I’m not here to do any petty bickering.”
But if she didn’t really know what her own ads were saying then, she knows them, 10 days later. But she still won’t take them down.
Even the news outlet Townhall found her dishonesty to be of interest to its national audience.
Typically, it’s independent expenditure groups that are in charge of the mudslinging, and candidates try to distance themselves from that nasty aspect of campaigning. But Peltola herself has taken ownership of the role of chief mudslinger, spreading lies about Nick Begich, and savaging Nick’s father, Nick Begich Sr.
Peltola’s continuous attacks on Nick’s father’s business have risen to the level of an obsession with her opponent’s father, who is both a miner and a businessman, and Peltola has attempted to confuse voters, since the two share a family name.
At the same time, Peltola never brings up her own father, Ward Sattler of Stony River, nor does she invite him to events or appear with him in any photos or videos. In fact, Peltola never mentions her father. It’s only Nick Begich’s father that has her full and constant attention.
This is passive aggressive behavior at its finest. Mean Mary treats constituents like this daily.
Do NOT rank Peltola!!
Sounds like Scary Mary has a variation of derangement syndrome. This only comes up when your political opponent is better than you are.
What about the ads accusing Begich’s company of taking advantage of the elderly by selling them faulty and dangerous medical equipment? How come candidates no longer run on their abilities, but have to engage in mudslinging? It all sounds so middle-schoolish.
Nothing like a child in a sandbox. It is the outside pushing.
With the current fish controls set by ADFG and the feds we already are already running out of fish.
So Mary is responsible for less fish.
She claims to be a fisherwoman.
Which makes her entitled to lie…how many and how big is the only lie coming out of her “fishcamp”
The freedom she is ranting about is more about the freedom to lie to the gullible voters.
Townhall is not a national news site. It is a propaganda outlet with Dennis Prager and Cal Thomas contributing.
Thank goodness, your side never,never deals in similar or worst propaganda, What a relief, I’m so not impressed with your observation reflecting “Pots calling Kettles, Black”. Cheers.
I would be similar to stating national news site refutes Trumps claims of donating his salary and then finding out its the DailyBeast.
List a single story, that TH published that isn’t true. ONE.
Here is a list from NYT and WaPO and network news.
Trump russian collusion.
Trump rented a Russian hotel room and prostitutes.
Ashley Biden’s diary was stolen.
Hillary Clinton deleted 33k emails related to Chelsea’s wedding and yoga.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was a russian plant.
Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents from his time in the senate was comparable yet different from documents that President Trump had from his time as President.
The summer of 2020 riots were justified and mostly peaceful, yet firey. And the January 6 tour group was worse than Pearl Harbor.
Do you people ever realize how ridiculous you sound?
Dennis Prager is fantastic! Prager U has some great offerings including wholesome and educational show offerings for kids. I didn’t know Prager was a contributor to Townhall; I’ll have to definitely check out Townhall for sure now! Thanks again for the promo!!!
Your welcome “Thank for the Promo”, you might want to check out Alex Jones while your lining up good sources of reliable information for the kids.
Townhall is just as much of a news site as MSNBC or Politico. Does not matter who is contributing.
Candidate Peltola – dimwitted, doomed, desperate, and now despicable. All manner of lies are the substance of the Democratic Party’s politics.
These outside PAC ads are a joke. Every Alaskan knows the US House and Peltola have zero to do with the PF and dividends. Begich is a Trump clone and an outsider. Peltola will win because she is more aligned with Alaskan interests as a Blue Dog Republican.
Are you simple?
MP is not a Republican (Blue Dog or otherwise)
The “blue dog” republican (did you coin this term Frank?) is Lisa; not Mary.
George Frank has issues with life liberty and the persuit of happiness.
His logic as you can tell is Elementary grade thinking.
Frank is on the pipe as usual. Don’t bother answering him.
US Interior Department policy on resource extraction is the primary rate limiting factor for the growth of the Permanent Fund.
They are also making phone calls I told Peltola’s people she was a POS and hung up
I thought the selling point for Rank voting was to get rid of this BS I guess Mary didn’t get the memo.
Must initiate a Cease and Desist!
You’re not far off on her obsessions. She has run through a number of very powerful men, and a lot of them are still alive to tell the tale. The list is long. Would not be surprised a bit if Sr. Begich was an interest of hers.
People out here in Bethel know Mary’s ways and wants. They just don’t talk about it openly.
How much worse can the fish allocation get for rural Alaska?
Everything is already allocated to the outside interests who have the deep pockets to buy off state and fed officials as it is.
As though Peltola has the slightest concern for “families”. The negative ads are infantile and infuriating to be subjected to.
Insinuating Begich would somehow make things worse requires the listener to be ignorant as to how our resources are actually managed.
Alas, most listeners are just that ignorant.
If you cannot give the voters a reason to vote for you, get them to vote against your opponent.
MP’s most absurd ad claims that Nick B. never created a job in Alaska.
As if this Government grifter from Bethel every produced a job ANYWHERE at all.
She’s a parasite imo.
“I’m Mary Peltola and I approve this message” Miss Mary, don’t approve a message if you don’t know anything about it.
Alaska Federation of Natives refuses to let Nick speak (Candidate Forum) and is telling its members to vote for Mary. As if those in charge don’t want their members to make an informed choice.
So let’s talk about Ward.
I don’t think a lot of younger Alaskans got that one…!
Probably not. Surprised to hear he’s out in Stoney River. He was living the high life in Penland Trailer Park. Badly in need of a bath, shave, and a couple gallons of bleach. All the while expounding on his knowledge of Irish literature. Pure genius!
Probably moved to that nice house she just purchased. Or maybe he just needs to be hidden away?
In my observations, it appears to me that Mary Peltola is a victim of child sexual abuse. She shows all the symptoms of this. One is repeating this abuse on other children by her actions.
Oh wait a minute maybe I misjudged or misspoke. Maybe I just made this up. Maybe I am just repeating something I heard. No problem. If the commies can get away with it, so should everyone else.
Peltola takes credit for work done by other legislators. She is a perfect example of a bad example.
Democratic party gonna do what it always does…anything to stay in power.
I’d like to know who propped her up to begin with and picked her to be the face of the liberal losers in this state.
Youtube is showing one mary ad or nick beat-down ad about every 3rd or 4th youtube short. I down-vote but now I see there is no up or down vote buttons for any of her ads. I scroll by but it irks me that youtube has gone full-blown stalin.
