The ad opens with a photograph of Sen. Pat Roberts' home in Alexandria, Virginia and proceeds to a La-Z-Boy recliner in Kansas it says he rents at a donor's house. On a golf course.
Pat Roberts doesn't live in Kansas, the new web ad from Milton Wolf, the conservative doctor who happens to be President Obama's cousin, says.
Wolf's campaign gave Breitbart News an exclusive first look at the ad.
As first reported by the New York Times, Roberts established his voting address at a donor's house the day before Wolf announced his primary bid against him. He previously rented out a house he owns in Kansas to tenants. His wife is a real estate agent in northern Virginia.
Roberts pays $300 a month to his campaign donors to occasionally stay at their house and suggested to the Times he sleeps on a recliner.
After the story came out, Roberts' campaign said his recliner rental does count as a residency.
The campaign put out a radio ad pushing back, saying that people outside the state are trying to influence the election and noting that many of Wolf's campaign donors are in Texas.
However, Roberts has refused to answer questions from the media about how much time he does spend in Kansas.

I support Pat Roberts. This primary challenge is a waste of resources.
You support the RINO who doesn’t live in Kansas?
I think we are playing with fire with this whole “doesn’t live in Kansas” thing.
If Roberts manages to win the primary anyway... I could see the Democrats trying to take him to court over the residency issue to get him removed from the ballot, with a liberal judge saying no replacement will be allowed and the Democrat wins by default.
I don’t put ANYTHING past the democrats, especially if control of the Senate rests on this race.
it is RIDICULOUS to expect ANY member of Congress to maintain duel, full time homes in more than one location. WHO CARES? This is petty and stupid.
It is also CLEAR evidence that Roberts votes correctly, as NO argument is made about his RECORD!
47 years is 43 too many.
Robertz is a RINO and a way too many years in DC mole.
Landrieu doesn’t live in Louisiana, and we really don’t want her.
I have done more for the conservative cause in Kansas than ANYONE you know.
Crawl back under your bridge, troll!
Let some Kansas Ted Cruz represent the peeps of the State.
The "facts" I have is that Wolf has been nowhere to be found, including our latest Kansan's for Life event, the most important conservative event in the state. It would seem the only benefit Wolf deems worth, is himself!
I know about the Conservative Fund, however Ted Cruz endorses Roberts, so, that combined with a bunch from Texas that I do not know, I'll stick with the facts that I know, Wolf has done nothing at all other than now to beg others for money to support himself, but PT Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute and that's what Wolf is hoping.
I am no RINO, nor do I support them.
I will not support an unknown whose only claim to fame is his relationship to Obama!
Wolf is worse than a blank piece of paper, he's running around claiming his conservative roots that are nonexistent.
At best he's a limp Libertarian, but one whose never supported anyone but himself!
Did you watch the ad that is the subject of this thread? Seems to me it speaks very effectively about his RECORD as you put it.
Think much?
“Did you watch the ad that is the subject of this thread? Seems to me it speaks very effectively about his RECORD as you put it.”
Maybe this guy Kansas58 is a corporate farmer. He’d love Roberts. You know the song: “I don’t plant cotton, I don’t plant taters, cause I get paid by the legislators, for growing nuttin.” Seriously, this is our problem in this country! For anyone to think that voting for someone to be your legislator for 47 friggin years w/o even a year off is why we are in the deep doo doo we are in today! This guy clearly doesn’t understand the intent of the framers when they wrote the Constitution. Being a lifetime elected representative was the farthest thing from their minds when they crafted the document. It’s the syndrome that says that the Congress is full of turds, except for my guy, he’s a keeper. Here’s hoping Dr. Wolf wins!
Do you also stay at Holiday Inn?
Your main complaint seems to be that he is unknown to the GOPe power brokers, that is a plus in this Freepers mind, and I am pretty sure I am not alone in that thought.
KS SEN. PAT ROBERTS R 90% KS 1 REP. TIM HUELSKAMP R 89% KS 4 REP. MIKE POMPEO R 86% KS 3 REP. KEVIN YODER R 72% KS 2 REP. LYNN JENKINS R 70% KS SEN. JERRY MORAN R 66%
I drove through west Kansas and can’t blame the guy.
Carpet bagger like Hitlary in New York?
We, in the grassroots have never heard of him but then you're not from Kansas, are you, or you would know better!
Those of us in "Kansan's for Life," were the TEA Party before there was a TEA Party and with the exception of those who have supported Ron Paul (who also didn't care anything about the Life issue in Kansas), we all know one another and Wolf was and is totally unknown, never has appeared at anything until he began telling us how great he is and how he really needs our money to "fight back against Washington!"
Try coming to Kansas some time, Toto, and you'll find out just how unknown Milton Wolf really is!
Huh? If a candidate doesn’t maintain a home in his state, how on Earth can you legally meet the residency requirements to ever run for any political office?
You make it sound like the Senators sent to DC are too poor to follow the law.
WTF? Your words are idiocy in the highest!
I’m looking forward to quoting you in the future.
