Baptism by fire: Georgia Democratic challenger Warnock faces first TV attack in crucial U.S. Senate race

Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler of Georgia unleashed her first full-scale TV attack ads on Democratic challenger the Rev. Raphael Warnock on Thursday, as the final battle for control of the U.S. Senate intensifies ahead of their January runoff. Loeffler, who spent much of the year fighting fellow Republican Doug Collins for conservative votes in their 20-candidate Nov. 3 multiparty election, released two 30-second spots that accused the Democrat of celebrating "anti-American hatred," praising "Marxism" and calling police thugs and gangsters. "Saving the Senate is about saving America from that!" concludes one of the ads, in what the Loeffler campaign described as a statewide TV buy worth more than $1 million.
