NRCC pulls ads for Majewski after reports he didn’t actually serve in Afghanistan after 9/11

The Nationwide Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is scrapping $1 million in scheduled TV advertisements for GOP congressional candidate J.R. Majewski after army information reportedly revealed was by no means stationed in Afghanistan, regardless of claiming to have served there after the 9/11 terrorist assault.

Majewski, the candidate working towards Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in Ohio’s ninth Congressional District, has been referred to as an Afghanistan veteran for his Air Power service, however army information obtained by the Related Press reveal that he was by no means truly stationed there. Following the stories, the NRCC canceled their plans to run advertisements for Majewski simply weeks earlier than the midterm elections.

In response to an Related Press report, army information present that he was in Kadena Air Base in Japan and was later deployed to Qatar, the place he spent six months loading and unloading planes at an air base.

The NRCC’s transfer to divest from the promoting was first reported by Medium Shopping for, a media agency. The NRCC didn’t reply to Fox Information Digital’s request for remark.

“The reality issues,” Marcy Kaptur mentioned in an announcement reacting to the stories. “As the one Ohioan on the Home Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I do know so many veterans — together with these in my circle of relatives — who’ve served our grateful nation with honor. I’ve listened carefully to their tales; their valor and unselfish heroism drives me to ship for them every day.”

“The concept that anybody, a lot much less a candidate for the US Congress, would mislead voters about their service in fight is an affront to each man and girl who has proudly worn the uniform of our nice nation. J.R. Majewski owes every of those heroes a full rationalization about his deception,” she mentioned.
