GET ME REWRITE: North Carolina GOP gears up to fight crime and inflation by smearing Democratic candidates with photoshopped ads

 
WRAL, 10/24/2022
The doctored images of legislative candidates have generated outrage on social media. They’ve even prompted calls for legal reforms. 
The ads designed to falsely depict Democratic lawmakers in T-shirts with the words “defund the police” were commissioned by a conservative political group known as the Carolina Leadership Coalition. The group targeted state Reps. Ricky Hurtado of Alamance County and Terence Everitt of Wake County, who, respectively, face Republicans Stephen Ross and Fred Von Canon in the general election. Their races are expected to be among the closest in the state.
