COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Republican Party has pulled an ad that falsely attacked state Rep. Phil Robinson for being sued over an unpaid debt from 1999 after Robinson pointed out the lawsuit actually involved a different person with the same name.

The ad launched on Facebook on Friday, according to the social media site’s political ad tracker. Along with a picture of Robinson, a Democrat from Solon elected in 2018, it read “Phil Robinson can’t manage his own finances… Can we trust him with ours?”
