https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsX02vx46Pk
Angie Craig has been trying to distract voters from her extreme views with her dishonest attack ads that have been called “misleading” by fact checkers in Minnesota. But as Craig misleads, even Democrats like Governor Mark Dayton are calling attention to the damage Obamacare has done to Minnesota’s health care system. Despite these warnings, Angie Craig continues to support Obamacare, even going so far as to promise to expand the failed health care law if elected.
