Josh Turek Called 'Full of S***' By Older Women in Ashley Hinson Attack Ad

"Josh Turek is full of it," Hinson said, sharing the ad on social media.

Ashley Hinson, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Iowa, has unleashed a scathing ad targeting her Democratic opponent, Josh Turek. The ad features senior women accusing Turek of being "full of s***" and urging them to "f*** him." Released on social media on Wednesday, the ad's caption reads, "Josh Turek is full of it. Just watch."

As the race to replace retiring Republican Senator Joni Ernst heats up, Hinson and Turek find themselves locked in a tight contest, with President Donald Trump's overwhelming 2024 victory in Iowa adding to the political stakes.

The ad's senior women target Turek's claims that Hinson trades stocks while serving as a congresswoman. Hinson staunchly denies these allegations, but congressional financial disclosures reveal that she sold her public stocks in March 2021, shortly after her election, and has not traded them since. In September, Hinson released her own ad, stating, "I don't trade stocks, and no one else in Congress should either. That's why I voted to ban it." Seeking comment, Newsweek contacted both Hinson's and Turek's teams via email.
