Who knew...the NRSC ads are less than honest

NRSC has been telling the same bullshit lies for so long they even believe them by now

ith the November election now less than four months away, campaign ads are appearing on Iowa television even more frequently. The I9 Fact Check team analyzes one in the hotly-contested U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Sen. Joni Ernst and Democratic challenger Theresa Greenfield.

Source: A television ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee attacks Greenfield on her ability to help small businesses and stand up to corporations.

It’s the second ad in this race from the NRSC and features a seemingly independent store owner admonishing Greenfield’s values. It’s important to note, though, that store owner is Scott Valencia of the Northside Café in Winterset and was a registered lobbyist for the Iowa Right to Life Committee. His restaurant also named a sandwich for then-candidate Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 election. That said, we did find at least one Democratic event held at the restaurant ahead of this year’s Iowa Caucuses.


Of course KCRG is busily inflating their grades here.

'Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it.'

Was Goebbels a Republican or a Nazi? Hard to tell them apart anymore.

I saw an Ernst commercial that was total bullshit today, but I can't remember what it was about. Must not have been a very good commercial.
