Karl Rove Promises More Ashley Judd Attack Ads

WEKU

Published February 10, 2013 at 5:45 PM EST

Republican strategist Karl Rove is promising more attack ads targeting actress Ashley Judd. Judd is flirting with a bid against Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is up for re-election in 2014. In a brutal online ad, American Crossroad tagged the actress-activist as an out-of-touch Hollywood liberal, and criticized her for living in Tennessee. Rove is the super PAC's founder, and he says there's plenty more to come.
