Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman, who is under attack from Republican opponent Mehmet Oz over his progressive views on criminal justice reform, attracted criticism from recent a TV ad that chronicled a 2013 incident when he chased down an unarmed black jogger and detained him until police arrived.

Now, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor is answering questions about a Washington Free Beacon article that reported how he touted connections in Braddock, Pennsylvania, to the Crips street gang when he was running for mayor of the borough in 2005.
