Ad's fake Morgan Freeman voice roils campaign
TRENDING: Ad's fake Morgan Freeman voice roils campaign


(CNN) – Angry finger-pointing continued in a North Carolina congressional race Tuesday over a campaign advertisement that purported to feature the voice of the actor Morgan Freeman.

Republican candidate B.J. Lawson's campaign said it was "tricked" by a production company after it was revealed that Freeman was not the narrator in Lawson's latest ad, as the campaign had previously claimed. Now the campaign has threatened legal action, and both parties have released statements, e-mail exchanges, and signed contracts as evidence as to who knew what when, and what exactly was agreed to.

1. so now the fact came out that the candidate was notified that they were using
a "sound-alike" voice actor, will the "liberal media" point out the lie of the Republican?

2. Poor little BJ.
Two years ago he hoped to cash in on sharing a last name with then-champion Tarheel basketball player Ty Lawson.

Price is going to hand him his ass again.
