Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is launching its first televised attack ad Friday against John Fetterman, labeling him a far-left ally of Bernie.

The spot said he “sided with socialists, backed a government takeover of health care” and “embraced parts of the Green New Deal that’d cost you 50,000 bucks a year.”

“Left-wing radicals are rolling into Pennsylvania, pushing John Fetterman,” the narrator said, as the people take protest signs out of the van reading “End Fracking No More Oil,” “AOC is my Queen” and “Republican = Bigot.”

The commercial likewise highlights Sanders calling Fetterman an “outstanding progressive,” a line the Vermont senator used while campaigning for Fetterman in his successful 2018 run for lieutenant governor.

The NRSC said it is putting just under $1.5 million behind the ad from Friday through June 16 on broadcast and cable

In a statement, Fetterman spokesperson Joe Calvello called the new ad “laughable” and said, “John cannot be labeled because he is not like other politicians, and voters across Pennsylvania know that.”

He also said the ad contained “inaccuracies,” but did not provide specifics
