Yesterday we brought you news of Nancy Johnson’s new campaign ad that shows a Chris Murphy impersonator hanging out with a drug dealer that invites him into his house after declaring, “You wanna weaken penalties for drug dealers, man! That's so cool!"  The Murphy campaign has responded to this ad with a press release that clarifies some information on the reference to drug dealers in Johnson’s ad.   The bill to which the ad refers, was actually designed to equalize penalties for crack and cocaine.  The two are essentially the same drug, but getting arrested for possession of the crack form could land you a far harsher sentence than possessing same amount of cocaine in powder form.  For more information on the reform of Connecticut’s drug laws see here.
