Help Move Georgia Forward
Washington Post: “Perdue should be ashamed of himself – and he should apologize. In the meantime, he earns four Pinocchios.”
ATLANTA — After months of continual lies from Senator David Perdue, the Washington Post Fact Checker has called out ANOTHER one of his claims as “outrageously false” and said Senator Perdue “should be ashamed of himself” and “should apologize.”
The Washington Post gave Senator David Perdue four pinocchios on his false claim that his opponent Jon Ossoff is “actually endorsed by the Communist Party,” noting this lie Perdue is claiming both in his ads and on the campaign trail is such an outrageous falsehood it’s “almost worthy of parody.”
Senator Perdue has a long history of lying about both Jon Ossoff and on his own record of failing Georgians. One of Perdue’s latest deceitful efforts to “obscure [his] position on pre-existing conditions” and run away from his disastrous record was also recently exposed as “False” by PolitiFact, noting that Perdue’s “record on preexisting conditions doesn’t match his promises.”
“Senator Perdue’s pattern of outrageous falsehoods is a strategy rooted in desperation to save his flailing campaign. Georgians are fed up with the lies and deception, and recognize that Perdue can’t run on his own record,” said Braxton Brewington, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia. “Like the Washington Post says, Perdue should apologize, both to his opponent and to the millions of Georgians he’s deceiving with his flagrantly untruthful ads.”
