Remember: Facts Are VERY Stubborn Things!

Republican Party of Pennsylvania Communications Director Megan Sweeney released the following statement regarding the announcement of Tim Kaine’s upcoming stops in Pennsylvania.

“When Tim Kaine comes to Pennsylvania, he’s going to see a state that’s been devastated by the Obama-Clinton agenda,” Sweeney said. “Over the past eight years, Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate has gone up, more families are living in poverty and small business are being crushed by overregulation. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want Pennsylvania to continue on the path of fewer jobs, higher taxes and more Obamacare. After the failures of the past eight years, middle-class Pennsylvanians can’t afford to send more of their shrinking paychecks to Washington.”
