Claire McCaskill is continuing her dog and pony show this morning, where she will hold town halls and pretend to care about the voters of rural Missouri. Here are a few questions Missourians are unlikely to get answers to today.
- Missourians overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump last November, delivering a 19-point win for the President. So why is Claire McCaskill working so hard to obstruct his agenda? So far McCaskill has voted against seven of the President’s cabinet nominees, rejected pro-life Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and voted no on 11 out of 13 measures to reduce burdensome regulation.
- Why does Claire McCaskill have such a difficult time telling Missourians the truth? Whether it’s her repeated lies about her interactions with the Russian ambassador, or that she billed taxpayers for trips on her private plane, McCaskill has serious problems being honest with Missouri voters.
- How can McCaskill claim to be a moderate when she votes with radical Massachusetts liberal Elizabeth Warren 86% of the time? McCaskill routinely sides with Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the liberal Washington politicians.
- How can McCaskill understand the needs of rural Missouri when she’s living the lavish life of a multi-millionaire? McCaskill likes to perform her phony down-home act when she tours Missouri, meanwhile she’s living in a 7k square foot Kirkwood mansion. When she’s back in D.C., McCaskill lives in a $2.7 million penthouse, owns part of a luxury restaurant, and takes her Senate pals on luxurious tropical vacations. That certainly doesn’t sound like a daughter of rural Missouri!
- Why does she only care about rural Missourians during campaign season? Where has she been the last four and a half years? Whether its health care or crippling government regulations, McCaskill abandons Missouri’s rural voters after every election to push the out-of-touch big government policies favored by Washington Democrats and liberal donors. Yet without fail, she comes back when the next election cycle nears to pander for the rural vote.
“Missourians don’t buy Claire McCaskill’s phony down-home act for one second,” said NRSC Spokesman Michael McAdams. “Voters know McCaskill’s got more in common with liberal Washington elites than hardworking folks in Missouri.”
