1988 - U.S. House of Representatives - Stephen Lybrook (Steve) Neal - "World", 1988-01-01 - 1988-12-31
Scope and Contents
In a 1988 political TV ad for Democratic candidate Steve Neal, Republican Lyons Gray is featured making several erroneous claims about closing U.S. military bases. Captured speaking at various events, Gray appears confused and suggests shutting down 3,500 overseas basesa number that exceeds the actual total of 375, making his statements seem implausible and undermining his credibility on national defense issues. The ad leverages these gaffes to question Gray's competence.
