The campaign launched against a Utah congressman's stand on immigration issues was "disgraceful," Sen. Bob Bennett told the Deseret Morning News editorial board Wednesday.
"These groups are vicious. You saw it," Bennett said. "They distort. It's disgraceful."
The senator did not name the two groups based in Washington, D.C., responsible for radio and billboard advertising against Rep. Chris Cannon in his Republican primary race against Matt Throckmorton.
But Bennett made it clear he believed what the groups did was wrong. Cannon's camp says ProjectUSA and the Coalition for the Future American Worker spent some $80,000 in their unsuccessful attempt to unseat the 3rd District congressman.
