KARE-TV finds Republican attack ad made Madia’s skin look darker

A KARE-TV report probes a recent ad from the National Republican Congressional Committee in which visual effects make Democratic congressional candidate Ashwin Madia’s skin darker.

This comes after state Republican officials held press conferences last month to highlight demographic differences between Indian-American Madia and residents of the 3rd Congressional District — in contrast to their own candidate, state Rep. Erik Paulsen, who is “one of them.” Video and more after the jump.
