Cop's Sister Slams Super PAC for Exploiting Tragedy

0:00It's March 30th. This is Birmingham News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. Brenda Barnes, sister of a cop killed in the line of duty, just slammed a big money superpack for twisting her family's pain into a political attack. The club for growth, backing Barry Moore's run for Alabama's US Senate seat, dropped ads blasting Attorney General Steve Marshall as week on crime. They're hitting radio, TV, and online in key spots, right before the Republican primary. Key spots paint Marshall as a lifelong, soft-on-crime Democrat, but Barnes says that's straight fiction. Her family points to Marshall's real record when her brother was murdered. He pushed for life sentences on the killers, one without parole. Barnes laid it out clear. Marshall stood with them at every turn, even blocking a parole bid to keep the cop killer locked up. She calls the ads, dishonest exploitation, turning tragedy into ammo against a guy who delivered justice. Now she's calling on Moore himself to show some spine and yank those ads off the air
