Walorski Hits Mullen On His Three D.C. Homes

Second District congressional Republican hopeful Jackie Walorski launched ads attacking her Democratic opponent Brendan Mullen for owning three homes in Washington, D.C. where he and his wife actually reside. From the South Bend Tribune:
Walorski's ad begins by showing images of Washington landmarks while anarrator says, "Washington, D.C.: Home to President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and D.C. insider Brendan Mullen.
"Mullen likes Washington, D.C., so much he owns three homes there," the narrator continues. "Washington liberals recruited him to move from D.C. to Indiana to run for Congress. They've showered Mullen's campaign with huge special-interest contributions, because Mullen supports their liberal agenda, including Obamacare.
Mullen claims the three homes in D.C. are merely investment properties that he rents out. The fact is that he and his wife made their home in D.C. before they decided to move back to Indiana's Second District for the sole purpose of running for Congress. His wife worked for House Speaker John Boehner, while he worked as a military consultant of some sort. Mullen is a West Point graduate who spent five years in Iraq and the Korean Demilitarized Zone. I'm betting that Mullen is actually a CIA contract employee. He would never admit it if he is, but the CIA is increasingly filling up the halls of Congress with its contract employees. A law should be passed requiring any person seeking federal office to publicly disclose any employment relationship they've had with the CIA or any other federal intelligence service. The American people would be shocked if they learned how many members of Congress and presidents of recent past and present have been on the CIA's payroll.

Yes, I am all for everyone running for office to be required to specify any past employment relationship he/she had with the CIA, Mossad, and such.

OK, Gary: evidence, please!

Try doing your own research for once, MSM, no pun intended.
