Out right Republican lies about Sanctuary Cites in their ads

 

By SJ Otto

Suddenly we see all kinds of political ads for the various candidates and we see all kinds of false propaganda and out right lies trying to cash in on people unfounded fears.

A recent ad for Roger Marshall and Senator Jerry Moran encourages them to punish sanctuary cities and the ad accuses those cities of sheltering dangerous criminals. This ad is sponsored by One Nation,[1] a special interst group that supports Republicans. While this may be an outside group supporting Marshall and Moran, the two have not objected to these ads, which is a kind of approval of them.  

It seems that Republicans can say what ever they want and the truth is not a necessity at all. Everything they are saying about immigration and sanctuary cities is a lie. Those cities are not supporting criminals, just people who have had trouble getting legal status to move to this country. Punishing an American system for this is ridiculous and a violation of local government’s rights.

Lately they have put out an ad that praises the two for overturning former President Barack Obama’s mandates. What that really means is supporting Prresident Trump’s efforts to take away health insurance and health care for millions of working class citizens. Again they are clever at twisting the truth.
