More false ads from Bustos’ DCCC

June 19, 2019

Days after getting called out by Colorado press for running false ads, Cheri Bustos’ DCCC is at it again, this time trying to smear Texas Rep. Will Hurd.

The DCCC attempted to attack Hurd on supposed inaction on child migrants, but clearly forgot to check in with their policy team. If they had, they would have seen that Rep. Hurd had just proposed an amendment to increase funding for migrant children to $2.4 billion in the recent Labor, HHS and Education appropriations bill.

And the can’t make this up kicker? DCCC Chair Cheri Bustos and her Democrat colleagues voted against that funding for migrant children. (Roll Call Vote #3 HERE)

NRCC Comment: “Cheri Bustos and the DCCC need to move quickly to hire a fact checker before they further embarrass themselves. Rep. Hurd has been one of the foremost leaders on border issues in Congress, and if Bustos and the socialist Democrats were serious about solving the crisis, they’d stop blocking his legislation.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera
