Emily Cain is now lying about her extreme bill

October 5, 2016

Emily Cain says the NRCC’s latest television ad, which highlights Cain’s bill requiring all students to be weighed at school, is false. Since the bill is only one page long, it is worth reading. You can read it HERE.

Specifically, the summary states:

cain-summaryThe bill was sponsored by Cain and co-sponsored by 5 Democrats and 1 Republican.

And it was opposed by two-thirds of Republicans.

So, how exactly is the NRCC’s ad regarding this bill false? And in what way does the bill have “wide bipartisan support”?

NRCC Comment: “Emily Cain is so extreme that she sponsored a bill to force public schools to weigh students and then report their weight to the government. It’s obvious that Emily Cain is too extreme and too out of touch for Maine families.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
