Reality Check: 'Crooks & Conmen' Ad Follows Attacks On Coffman

DENVER (CBS4) - Colorado's Congressional District 6 could determine which party controls the U.S. House after November.

He's been the subject of a barrage of attack ads and is fighting back with one of his own.

Shaun Boyd gives the ad a Reality Check.
