PolitiFact rates Tom Steyer group ad against Joni Ernst 'false'

Fact-checkers at PolitiFact say a television ad claiming Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst pledged to protect “tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas” is false.

The ad, paid for by billionaire Tom Steyer’s group NextGen Climate Action Committee, opens with two old, white men sitting in a dark, wood-paneled room looking at a TV screen with Sen. Ted Cruz’s Image on display.
