FACT CHECK: Bacon Called Out For Lying To Nebraskans In Campaign Ad

Don Bacon was called out for lying to Nebraskans in a recent campaign ad where he falsely claimed that he “capped insulin prices at $35 a month,” despite voting AGAINST the bill that actually capped insulin costs.

News Channel Nebraska fact checked Bacon’s misleading claims – pointing out that Bacon voted ‘NO’ on the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped Insulin prices for seniors on Medicare, calling it “reckless and partisan.” The bill also allows Medicare to negotiate to lower the cost of prescription drugs.

Bacon has also accepted more than $50,000 in campaign contributions from the prescription drug industry.

WATCH: 

DCCC Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw
“Don Bacon is getting so desperate to hold onto power that he’s outright lying to Nebraskans in his campaign ads. It’s Washington politics at its worst – and Nebraska voters will see right through his phony act this November.”
