As we announced Monday, the Truth Teller experience has now expanded to political ads.

This ad, sponsored by Senate Majority PAC, attacks Senate candidate Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), claiming he’s connected to the billionaire Koch brothers, Charles and David Koch, and what it describes as their efforts to cut Social Security, end Medicare and block aid for hurricane victims. One key assertion in this ad — that the Koch brothers have an agenda of protecting “tax cuts for companies that ship our jobs overseas” — has already earned Four Pinocchios.
