Klobuchar hits back

Amy Klobuchar, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate, is running an ad featuring family members of crime victims (no link yet). The members thank Klobuchar for prosecuting identity theft, drunken driving and murder crimes as Hennepin County Attorney. One of them is Linda Longino, the mother of Tyesha Edwards who was killed by a stray bullet.

Here's the tag line at the end of the ad:

"Trust their word, not Mark Kennedy's.

Longino then says "Mark Kennedy, you should be ashamed."

The ad is in response to Kennedy's recent ad criticizing Klobuchar's work as Hennepin County Attorney.
