Beware of the Dark People

An ad by the NRCC digitally alters photographs of an Indian-American candidate running for Minnesota's third district to make him look darker.

A Republican attack ad invites viewers to "meet the real Ashwin Madia," but the still photos featured in the spot present a noticeably darker version of the 3rd District DFL congressional candidate.

"At least three of the photos of Madia were obviously darkened, using one method or another," public affairs and media consultant Dean Alger told KARE 11.
