Liberal activists in West Virginia accidentally flew an aerial message attacking a Republican senator representing a completely different state on the other side of the country. <\/p>\n
Reporters at the Charleston Gazette-Mailon Monday noticed a plane flying around West Virginia's capital city with a banner reading, \"SEN HELLER: KEEP YOUR WORD VOTE NO ON TRUMPCARE.\" <\/p>\n
The only problem? Republican Sen. Dean Heller represents Nevada. The GOP senator representing West Virginia is Shelley Moore Capito. <\/p>\n
The Gazette-Mails executive editor, Rob Byers, identified UltraViolet, a liberal women's advocacy group, as the organization responsible for the embarrassing mixup. <\/p>\n
UltraViolet appeared to be using its aerial message to pressure Senate Republicans to vote against the chamber's health care bill under consideration to replace the Affordable Care Act. <\/p>\n
Aerial messages appear to be a favorite tool of UltraViolet. The groupflew an anti-Donald Trump banner over the men's U.S. Open golf tournament earlier this month to protest the women's U.S. Open being held at a Trump-owned golf course this year. UltraViolet also recently flew a banner in Kansas City, Kan. attacking the Royals for accepting a pro-life advertisement. <\/p>\n
