There is a reason why Kelly Ayotte keeps hitting the softball to right field on every pitch in her TV commercial, and that’s because she votes right wing every chance she gets in Washington.

She voted against background checks for military-style assault rifles, leaving the public vulnerable, as terrorists on the no-fly list can’t get on an airplane but have no problem buying an AR-15.

She wants to raise the age for Social Security benefits but not affect people in their 60s; however, hardworking people in their 50s, 40s, and younger will get the short end of the Social Security stick.

And you can bet she will vote for right wing Supreme Court justices who will eliminate Roe v. Wade.

Don’t be fooled by Ayotte’s commercials pretending that she is "an independent" voice. You can always depend on her to hit to right field, as she pretends to be outraged by Donald Trump’s misogyny, racism, and xenophobia, but yet still supports him for president.

With the Donald as president, right-wingers like Ayotte will institute a new round of tax cuts for the wealthy – the people who she really cares about the most.
