Bob Kerrey’s campaign is criticizing Karl Rove’s super PAC TV ad for being hypocritical. The Republican super PAC called Crossroads GPS is airing ads attacking Kerrey for serving on the board of an insurance company called Genworth Financial at the time the company tried to get bailout money through the Trouble Assets Relief Program, or TARP. As first reported by Nebraska Watchdog last month, Genworth considered buying struggling banks as a way to get bailout money. Kerrey was on Genworth’s board of directors from 2004 until March, when he stepped down to make a run for the U.S. Senate in Nebraska. |
