Claim: Sharron Angle attacks Harry Reid in two new ads for being wealthy and for making $1 million on a real-estate deal, which is true enough. But one of the ads falsely claims that the Senate Majority Leader "pushed ethics loopholes," and the other makes the unsubstantiated claim that the land deal was "shady." Angle, the Republican who's trying to win Democrat Reid's seat, is running both ads in Nevada as the candidates enter the final stretch of one of the closest Senate races in the nation.
