What ad represents the straw man fallacy?

In: Political Office Holders [Edit categories]

Answer:

Many so-called 'paid political announcements' that appear on TV right before an election may claim that a political opponent supports an unfavorable position, basing their claim on a quote or video taken out of context. This would be a presentation of the straw man argument in an attempt to sway voters.
