Toomey's campaign sent out a statement touting Giffords' endorsement and accusing McGinty of being a rubber stamp for the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. His campaign said McGinty distorted Toomey's record on firearms legislation, saying he introduced a bill to prevent terrorists from getting guns and he voted for bills and other measures that carried stiff penalties against countries that sought to hurt U.S. jobs by flooding the market with steel and other products.
