UPDATE: On Wedneday, another Congressional candidate in Georgia, began running an Faceboook ad advocating violence

In the ad, Green cocks a semi-automatic rifle while she delivers a message to “ANTIFA terrorists”: “Stay the hell out of Northwest Georgia”

2. Like the ad from Paul Broun, Facebook did not do anything about this ad until I emailed them about it this afternoon.

A few hours later, the company removed it.

But, by then, it had already been shown 50,000 to 60,000 times to Georgia voters.

3. While Facebook removed the ad, they did not respond to my request for comment.

But they have a serious problem with politicians paying them money to distribute violent content.

I'll let you know if I hear back

UPDATE: Just heard back from Facebook. They sent me the same statement they sent me last night for Broun.
6. The candidate who got her ad taken down isn't happy about it.
