Lie a little Harder: the Extended Cut

ICYMI, last night Josh Harder fumbled through the head-to-head editorial board meeting with Jeff Denham at the Modesto Bee, spilling falsehoods left and right.

A few of Josh’s greatest hits:

• Josh claimed he doesn’t support abortion up to 9 months: FALSE
  • Harder was caught on video endorsing late-term abortion after being asked about it repeatedly, as well as repealing the Hyde Amendment to force taxpayers to pay for these late-term abortions

• Josh claimed single-payer healthcare will save money: FALSE
  • A Washington Post fact-check gave Democrats 3 Pinocchios for this claim. Single-payer will cost $32 trillion and necessitate huge tax hikes to cover the cost of this government takeover of healthcare.

• Josh claimed his campaign never mocked Jeff Denham’s “Mexican wife”: FALSE
  • After Harder supporters repeatedly shouted “shame on your Mexican wife” at a Denham campaign appearance, Harder ‘liked’ the video footage on Twitter and later had to remove it after community backlash.

If Josh continues to lie and obfuscate about his positions as a candidate, can’t we expect him to do the same as a Member of Congress?
