What are the biggest lies republicans are telling in Iowa this campaign

I guess I am not following it that closely since I will never vote for a Republican again.

However, lies is pretty much all they got. So what are they saying?

Kimmy has given us "Medicaid is on the right track" and while I don't have the quotes, their version of Hubbell running Younkers is pure fairy tales. O - I almost forgot that story her campaign made up about Hubbell voting to bring a ethanol plant to Iowa that Repugs claim he had a stake in(?)

haven't heard much from King, Young or Blum who seem to be afraid to speak these days

Whatchya got?

No they aren't, they hate the working class and want to steal everything from us to give to themselves & other rich folks.

All currently elected repugs are this way, AFAIK. I haven't seen any sanity or integrity from any of them.

from the Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC.

Axne has a fact check page devoted to their ads. https://cindyaxneforcongress.com/fact-check/

Can't find it on YouTube, and I tend to holler for the tv to be muted when it's on - but something like Finkenauer will quadruple the price of health insurance and raise taxes enormously - maybe some of you in the 1st CD can help me out?
