The false ad appeared online as transparency and truthfulness in campaign ads have stirred national concern. ADADAs first reported by the Wichita Eagle, the attack ad posted to a Facebook page and YouTube channel was paid for by a mysterious New Mexico company called Protect Wichita’s Girls LLC. State business records do not say who owns the company, nor do they connect it to Kansas in any way. “Oh my gosh, knowing that it’s a lie now, I just feel terrible,” she told the Eagle. On Tuesday, Whipple filed a lawsuit against Colborn and two “John Doe” defendants, accusing them of defaming him in the campaign ad.
