Ad Attacking Cooper Makes False Connection to Murder
An ad from a super PAC supporting Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley features a heart-wrenching testimonial from the father of a woman who was murdered in 2025. The ad falsely implies the accused murderer was one of the prisoners released during the COVID-19 pandemic when Whatley's Democratic opponent, Roy Cooper, was governor of North Carolina.

Kennedy Jr. has said obesity dropped 3% "in the last year" and suggested the Trump administration deserves at least some of the credit. One poll shows obesity falling by about that much — but the decline happened over several years and began well before President Donald Trump’s current term.
