Does Nick Begich Agree with Trump’s Closing Message? “I Don’t Give a Damn” about Gas Prices, “We’re Making a Freaking Fortune.”

With 8 days until Election Day, Republicans’ closing message couldn’t be clearer. Higher costs for you, record profits for them: 

TRUMP ON HIGH GAS PRICES: “We’re making money like this country has never made before…I can just see the fake headlines: ‘President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump’…I don’t give a damn… We’re making a freaking fortune.”

As Alaskans are getting crushed paying above $10 a gallon for gas in some villages — the president DGAF, and neither does Nick Begich, who has voted with his reckless agenda of chaos and higher costs 100% of the time. 

Begich is also no stranger to blatant corruption. As a multi-millionaire himself, he voted to gut more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid and SNAP to give tax breaks to the top 1% – while personally profiting from those policies himself.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser: 
“Nick Begich and his extreme allies in Washington clearly don’t give a damn about your gas prices. Alaskan families have had enough of paying the price for Begich’s callous agenda and unprecedented corruption. He is going to lose in 8 days because of it.”
