PENNSYLVANIA — Today, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party released a new web ad, “The Real Pat Toomey,” highlighting Pat Toomey’s record of fighting for Wall Street special interests in Washington.
Toomey, himself a former Wall Street banker, has received millions in contributions from the financial world. In turn, Toomey has advocated against regulating the big banks and corporations that blew up the global economy.
“Pat Toomey’s entire career is defined by the rigged Wall Street system he helped create as an investment banker, and that he continues to perpetuate as a Senator,” said Preston Maddock, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. “He has reliably opposed reforms that protect Pennsylvanians from Wall Street greed and misconduct, while using the industry’s vast financial resources to fund his political career. That’s the real Pat Toomey.”
