Rick Berg Ad & YouTube Commenters, A YouTube commenter compared Senate candidate Rick Berg’s new video to “Mean Girls.” The Republican nominee for North Dakota’s open Senate seat is being attacked by commenters on YouTube — including a comparison to the 2004 Lindsay Lohan film “Mean Girls” — for an ad he released last week featuring four women talking negatively about his Democratic opponent while drinking coffee.

Rep. Rick Berg’s (R-N.D.) campaign posted the ad, entitled “Again,” to the campaign’s YouTube account and enabled comments and ratings to be posted on the ad. As of Wednesday afternoon, the ad brought in 70 dislikes and four likes. The ad features four senior citizens drinking coffee in a diner while criticizing Democrat Heidi Heitkamp over her support for the Affordable Care Act and praise for President Barack Obama.

The ad ends with one of the women saying that Heitkamp’s actions are “not the North Dakota way.” Berg has made “the North Dakota way” his political tagline.
