Senate Democrats are so focused on obstructing the Republican tax cut plan, they aren’t bothering to get their facts straight.
Over the past 10 months, Senate Democrats have made it clear that their only objective is to obstruct President Trump and Republicans’ pro-growth agenda. But instead of proposing their own solutions, Democrats have been content to lie about Republican plans. Their lies have been particularly egregious when it comes to tax relief. Just this morning, a Washington Post fact check gave four Pinocchios to a bizarre claim repeated by at least three Democrat Senators that the Republican plan would raise taxes on the middle class. The Post found that this was false, and that Americans at all income levels would receive a tax cut. It’s clear Democrats aren’t going to let little things like facts or math get in the way of their obstruction!
“When multiple members of their conference are repeating the same lie about the Republican plan, it’s clear that Senate Democrats have no interest in having an honest debate about tax relief,” said NRSC Communications Director Katie Martin. “Republicans are committed to delivering a tax cut to the middle class and job creators, but all Senate Democrats are interested in is playing partisan games.”
