Bob Casey had a bad week (again) — and capped it off by endorsing Harris’s price controls

August 16, 2024 Press Releases

PHILADELPHIA, PA. — Bob Casey just can’t seem to tell the truth — and the people of Pennsylvania are catching on. 

Take a look at Bob’s bad week:

On Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Bob Casey’s ownership in the very same company he hit McCormick’s former company for in an ad. The McCormick campaign released a new ad highlighting Casey’s lies. 

Then, Fox News revealed that Casey also owns stock in two additional Chinese companies that manufacture and distribute fentanyl.

Yesterday, even the partisan liberals at PolitiFact agreed that Bob Casey’s claims on McCormick’s abortion stance were out of line, rating them “mostly false.” 

Casey’s “bestie” in Pittsburgh signed a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) ballot initiative that the Free Beacon reported would cripple the city’s Jewish organizations and punish its largest hospital system.

Last night, NBC reported about the McCormick campaign’s new ad in which Casey lied to Pennsylvanians about the risk of inflation in order to justify his own votes for trillions of dollars in radical spending.

And this morning, MSNBC’s Willie Geist asked Casey about a brutal Washington Post editorial shredding the Harris-Casey proposed price controls: “It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is — in all in name — a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices. Far off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it could charge for milk…Who exactly decides when a price at the grocery store in Ohio is excessive?”

“Career politician Bob Casey will blame everyone but himself for the high cost of living that is crushing Pennsylvania families. Casey and Harris are too liberal and too weak to stand up for Pennsylvania, and their agenda of open borders, defunding the police, stripping Americans of their private health insurance, and banning fracking is fundamentally out of step with Pennsylvanians’ needs,” said Elizabeth Gregory, McCormick communications director.
