As Kevin McCarthy travels to Michigan today to campaign for Tom Barrett, Barrett is catching flack for lying about his anti-choice record. And he’s not the only one – more and more Republicans are trying to erase long-held extreme views on taking away Americans’ reproductive freedom.
That begs the question – does McCarthy think Republicans like Barrett should be trying to lie about their anti-choice agenda from voters? We thought someone should ask Kevin, so here are 4 questions for McCarthy as he stumps for Tom Barrett in Michigan today:
- Did you or the NRCC advise Barrett and other Republican candidates to lie about their extreme positions on abortion?
- Why are so many Republicans now lying about their views on abortion if it will not be a top issue for voters, as you recently claimed?
- Do you think abortion and GOP’s anti-choice agenda is a liability for Republicans this November and should Republicans continue to run on banning abortion?
- Do you still support a federal abortion ban?
