A swing and a miss for Vargas

Liberal Tony Vargas’ attempted attacks on Don Bacon in the final NE-02 debate fell flat last night… and the KETV fact-checkers agree:

❌ Vargas claims Bacon has an F rating with the National Education Association. That is FALSE.

• KETV: “The claim that he has an F rating from the NEA is false.”

❌ Vargas claims Bacon wants to ban all abortion without exceptions. That is FALSE.

• KETV: “Bacon has maintained in all interviews with KETV, when asked about this question, that he supports exceptions for health of the mother, rape and incest.”

❌ Vargas claims Bacon will take away 700,000 Nebraskans coverage of preexisting conditions. That is FALSE.

• KETV: “The bill did not directly kick people off of their insurance plans.”

“Tony Vargas doesn’t have facts on his side so he’s resorting to lies. There is no room for Vargas’ incivility, which is why Nebraskans will re-elect Congressman Don Bacon in November.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
