Some things in life are unavoidable: Death, taxes, and Rob Bresnahan lying to his NEPA constituents.
After repeatedly insisting that he would not vote to cut Medicaid, Bresnahan yesterday cast the deciding vote to rip away health insurance and risk food assistance for tens of thousands of his own constituents. That’s called lying.
Bresnahan signed onto a letter that reportedly drew a “red line on Medicaid cuts” – only to turn around and vote for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history.
Reminder: We already know that Bresnahan has a problem with the truth. Bresnahan told Pennsylvanians he’d end stock trading in Congress and even promised voters that he would “happily co-sponsor” a bipartisan bill to ban the practice. But since being elected to office, Bresnahan has become the most prolific stock trader among his freshman class, executing over 264 trades—totaling $1.7 million in purchases and $3.03 million in sales.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Corrupt politician Rob Bresnahan lies like he’s breathing. First he became one of the most prolific freshman stock traders in Congress after pledging on the campaign trail that he would ban it. Now Bresnahan lied to NEPA voters when he told them he’d protect their health insurance but instead voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. You can’t trust a single word he says.” |
