Union boss resigns over ad attacking dad who lost family in horrific home invasion

The New York Post reports:
A labor union boss has resigned after running a controversial political attack ad that targeted a doctor whose family was killed in a horrific 2007 Connecticut home invasion.

Fox 61 reports that Paul Filson’s resignation Thursday as executive director of the 55,000-member SEIU Connecticut State Council came in the face of widespread criticism of the ad in which Dr. William Petit and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump are accused of an “attack on women and families.”

Filson ran a political action committee that produced the online ad with money from the SEIU and other Connecticut labor unions, the station reported.
You stay classy SEIU.
