After spending months sending misleading tweetstorms about the Republican tax cut plan, Bob Casey’s dishonest rhetoric is not aging well.
Just hours after the passage of the Republican tax bill, Pennsylvania’s own Comcast joined Boeing, AT&T, Wells Fargo, and Fifth Third Bank in announcing plans to invest in U.S. workers. Comcast announced that, as a result of passage of the tax plan, it would give a $1,000 bonus to more than 100,000 employees, and would invest more than $50 billion in infrastructure over the next five years. Between this and the boost in take home pay set to hit workers’ paystubs in 2018, Bob Casey sure is going to have some explaining to do!
“Bob Casey and his Democratic colleagues’ attempts to mislead American families are backfiring in a big way as major companies like Comcast announce plans to invest in their workforce,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “As the 2018 election approaches, Pennsylvanians won’t forget Casey’s vote against a law that will boost their pay and improve the economy.”
