Ted Cruz Creates Sixty-Second Television Ad Filled With Blatant Lies About Obamacare (Video)

Ted Cruz Creates Sixty-Second Television Ad Filled With Blatant Lies About Obamacare (Video)

In April, Senator Baucus criticized the way in which the Affordable Care Act had been delivered to the American people. He voiced concerns about the way people had been informed about how the law works, and claimed at that time that it was a “train wreck” without more clarification from the White House.

Keep in mind, he never called the Affordable Care Act itself a train wreck — he was simply criticizing the way in which the American people were being made aware of the facts about the law.

Ted Cruz knows this–but that doesn’t matter. He still decided to base his video on the premise of one of the architects of the health care law calling it a “train wreck.”

In fact, his video is so inaccurate the Washington Post rated it “Three Pinocchios”—meaning it’s a blatant lie with very little factual information whatsoever.
