NEW: Law enforcement leaders are pushing back on a wildly misleading attack ad targeting Vanita Gupta, Joe Biden’s nominee for the no. 3 position at the Justice Department. huffpost.com/entry/vanita-g…

Even by political attack ad standards, the Judicial Crisis Network attack ad is pretty shameless.
It claims, over a photo Dylann Roof, that Gupta wants to “reduce” sentences for white supremacists.
Gupta oversaw Roof’s prosecution.

Even the national Fraternal Order of Police — which twice endorsed former President Trump — praised Vanita Gupta, saying she worked with them “to find common ground even when that seemed impossible.” huffpost.com/entry/vanita-g…
“The real crisis in this country is partisan demagoguery and the politics of personal destruction,” the FOP’s Jim Pasco told me when I asked about the Judicial Crisis Network ad attacking Vanita Gupta. huffpost.com/entry/vanita-g…
