Readers, we need your help. We have now caught three GOPers -- @PeterRoskam @RepJeffDenham (via @CLFSuperPAC) @DaveBratVA7th -- claim we gave Four Pinocchios to their D opponents re preexisting conditions. Not true! Please alert us if you spot any more. We'd like to stop this.

This is an example of this behavior --> an R citing an unrelated fact check that came out before the CBO issued a critical report that said the House GOP repeal/replace bill undermined protections for preexisting conditions.

We found a fourth one -- @RodneyDavis in IL-13. Keep 'em coming, please.

Here's number five: @MikeKellyPA in PA-16. Except he said: "The New York Post gave that a Four Pinocchio that it was absolutely false." Doubly wrong!

Number six! @RepJohnFaso NY-19

They have no shame.

1. Josh Hawley running for Claire McCatskill's senate seat said that he's for the pre-existing ...

conditions for his son, yet as MO AG, he's joined other republican AGs in filing a lawsuit against pre-conditions via the ACA...ultimate hypocrite.

2. Why does it never dawn on their supporters?

That they are being used and played for fools? Is it like an abused person who constantly returns to their abuser?

I just don’t get it. They claim to be all tough, and strong, but would gladly let Josh or Donald lie to and steal from them for years. Makes no sense.

6. They have faith

They've been taught to deny reality and support a nonsense story since they learned to talk.

Just imagine Madoff's victims getting suspicious, but going to Madoff and beseeching him, "I believe in you; help me rid myself of unbelief."

3. They have no shame but they also do not give a flying

fuck that this is a life and death matter for most families.

4. Mike DeWine running for governor of Ohio

now has an ad saying he supports pre existing conditions and always has even though he sued the government to get rid of them. A real asshole.

[Ilsa]

5. Tell everyone: check their voting record in Congress!

Look at what they do, not what they say.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Jeff Denham is getting beaten up by Josh Harder TV ads that have footage of Denham contradicting....

himself on his pre-existing conditions position. The asshole earned those Pinocchio noses the old fashioned way: lying

For shits and giggles, I went to 538 to see how the race is shaping up; Nate Silver thinks CA-10 is going to flip, baby!
