Chalk this up as one of, if not the, sleaziest robocall of this election cycle.
In a race for a South Carolina Senate seat, the Republican challenger, Mick Mulvaney, has reportedly launched an automated call effort that makes it seem as if a gay-rights group is effusively praising his opponent's extremely liberal agenda.
The calls claim to be sponsored by an organization called the Alliance for the Advancement of Gays and Lesbians -- except such a group doesn't actually exist. And "they" praise the Democratic candidate in that race, Mandy Powers Norrell, for absurdly framed positions, such as her support for "homosexual unions and abortion rights."
