Senate Leadership FundRepublican super PAC, in a press release on its website
A Senate Leadership Fund press release calls Hamilton a pedophile protector and says his CNN answer was an admission that he failed to report a sexual predator to police, which it says contradicts his campaign's advertising.
Responding to
Boys were molested at Adam Hamilton's church camp, his church swept their reports under the rug and welcomed the abuser back, and Hamilton protected a pedophile.
“pedophile protector Adam Hamilton admitted that he failed to report a sexual predator abusing children under his watch to law enforcement, despite multiple children coming forward.”
