Community-Noted! Brett Lindstrom Caught Lying As Republicans Make Thanksgiving More Expensive

GOP congressional hopeful Brett Lindstrom is telling Nebraskans not to trust their own eyes – or their wallets – as they head to the grocery store to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner.

Lindstrom reposted a tweet from the Trump White House account claiming that the cost of Walmart’s Thanksgiving Basket was down from last year – but was quickly hit with a community note showing that in fact, the basket had been cut down from 21 items to 15 items thanks to Republicans’ inflationary agenda.

Let’s not forget: Lindstrom celebrated the passage of House Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill as “a huge day for America”– even as it rips away critical food assistance from more than 23,000 households in NE-02 alone. 

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Brett Lindstrom is running to curry favor with Donald Trump, even if that means lying to Nebraskans’ faces. It doesn’t matter how much Trump and Lindstrom try to spin this – when families go to the grocery store they’re being met with higher prices, smaller baskets, and a tighter budget. Nebraskans are fed up with the Trump economy – and Brett Lindstrom’s lies.”
