Claim: A Senate candidate says a pro-Israel group is airing a "false" TV ad about her record and urges stations not to run it. The ad does mislead voters in some — but not all — of its claims: The ad says Wisconsin Rep. Tammy Baldwin called "terrorists who attacked Israel 'innocent victims' " — a claim it illustrates with photos of masked men carrying weapons. That's nonsense. Baldwin said those killed and injured while attempting to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip were "innocent victims."
