Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola has now spoken out after getting caught committing one of the dirtiest political tricks in recent years.As The Gateway Pundit reported, The New York Times on Wednesday confirmed Peltola’s campaign successfully recruited a decoy Dan Sullivan in an attempt to confuse Alaska voters.Over the summer, a Democrat operative named Amber Lee worked to register a man named Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr as Dan S. Sullivan (the incumbent Senator’s name) as a GOP challenger.Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr is a Democrat and has a team of Democrats working for him. But Peltola’s cronies registered him as a Republican to cause chaos and confusion.Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.’s name will appear on the Alaska ballot in the general election next week.On Wednesday afternoon, Peltola spoke out and immediately started gaslighting the public.“This is just another distraction, it’s another diversion,” Peltola said. “Every day, it’s some, you know, new, look over here moment.”“Not Dan Sullivan, registered Republican, incumbent, voted for this war in Iran 14 times,” she continued.After continuing to bash Sullivan for a few more seconds, Peltola turned her attention back to The New York Times.“This is all stuff just to sell newspapers,” she said. “Nobody at The New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.”WATCH HEREAs TGP’s Jim Hoft reported earlier today, this scandal has exploded to the point Alaska Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has ordered a state investigation into Peltola’s U.S. Senate campaign.Dunleavy wrote that the New York Times report “reveals disturbing new evidence of an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates, including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator, to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes.”Polls currently show Peltola with a narrow lead over the real Dan Sullivan in a race that could determine the balance of Senate control.One can only hope Alaska voters are smart enough not to let such filthy campaign tactics go unpunished.The post Sleazy Democrat Mary Peltola Breaks Silence After Getting Busted Trying to Trick Voters with a Fake Dan Sullivan Candidate (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
