PolitiFact: Steve Santarsiero labeled “FALSE”

April 21, 2016

core creek 2If Steve Santarsiero is walking through Core Creek Park in Bucks County and no one is around to hear him speak, is he still lying about his record?

Santarsiero got called out this morning by non-partisan PolitiFact for his false claim to have written “PA’s Gun Safety Law.”  The fact checkers aren’t buying his lies, correctly stating the last gun safety law was written in 1995 before Santarsiero was even elected and that a universal “gun safety” law in Pennsylvania that Santarsiero takes credit for passing doesn’t even exist.

Since do-nothing Santarsiero needs to lie to compensate for his do-nothing record (0-54 getting bills signed into law in his 7-plus years in office), we decided to help him come up with a few more:

  • Santarsiero flies a kite in a thunderstorm to discover electricity
  • Santarsiero lands on the moon
  • Santarsiero tells General Secretary Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall!”

NRCC Comment: “Steve Santarsiero’s lies are piling up so high that now even a non-partisan fact check organization is stepping in to set the record straight. 8th District voters won’t be fooled by a do-nothing legislator like Santarsiero no matter how many lies he tells.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
