Ramaswamy said it was legitimate to ask whether federal agents were aboard the 9/11 planes, and admitted he had no evidence. When the quote made news he said it was wrong. CNN's fact-checker reviewed the audio and found the only thing left out was a five-word fragment.
In 2021, as director of Ohio's Governor's Office of Workforce Transformation, Husted told a county chamber of commerce that repetitive jobs 'are going away' and would 'be replaced by robots.' He said he didn't think that was bad, because those jobs weren't 'enriching.'
Stephen Woytek ran political operations for Husted's Senate campaign for about a month. His Facebook profile picture showed soldiers from Hitler's personal SS division. It is the second person Husted's campaign has lost in two months over something a reporter found first.
A pastor who is a registered sex offender for life, twice imprisoned for crimes involving children, delivered the opening prayer at an August 28 Whatley campaign stop in New Bern. It is the second convicted child sex offender to become an issue in his campaign this year.
Greg Abbott's campaign used AI to swap an American flag for a transgender flag in a photo of his opponent talking to a child about a closed school. Ken Paxton scripted a speech his opponent never gave. Marsha Blackburn put hers in a prison jumpsuit. Cindy Hyde-Smith registered a domain in her opponent's name.
Her campaign registered ColomForSenate.com to imitate Scott Colom's real site, ScottColom.com, and calls him the 'transgender defender' who 'pushed radical sex change surgeries for children.' The 2021 letter it cites is the only document linked anywhere on the site, and the word surgery does not appear in it once.
Blackburn's campaign built a site calling independent candidate Dave Hatley 'Deadbeat Dave,' photoshopping him into a prison jumpsuit over a 1990s bad-check case he served a month for and wrote a memoir about. In 2018 she voted for the First Step Act, and the felon she wants running the country is the man who signed it.
A list of the Republicans who voted to block the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act went around X this week. We checked all 42 names against the official roll calls. Every one of them voted against the bill — and the record is worse than the list says.
A draft rule seen by ProPublica would drastically weaken leak inspections and equipment requirements at more than 700,000 low-producing wells, and kill a program built to track massive methane releases. It would save oil companies $42 billion. The EPA published no estimate of what it costs everyone else.
