With his campaign in free-fall, Monty Mason has decided the only way to save his seat is to lie to voters about the widely respected Sheriff Danny Diggs.
Mason’s latest ad regurgitates the same scare tactics and falsehoods displayed by his fellow far-left Virginia Democrats, who are desperate to distract Virginians from their extreme position on abortion.
“Monty Mason is following his fellow far-left Democrats down the shameful path of lying to voters in order to distract from his extreme record. Monty’s latest ad is a sad attempt to rescue his flailing campaign, engaging in despicable fear-mongering and falsehoods. With no record of accomplishment, no vision, and no commonsense agenda to offer the people of his district, it is not a surprise that Monty Mason and Virginia Democrats feel their only option is to lie to Virginians,” said Spirit of Virginia Chairman Dave Rexrode.
Ever the follower, Monty Mason’s ad is a carbon copy of the provable lies from Joel Griffin, Virginia House Democrats, and the Democratic Party of Virginia, using citations that debunk the entire premise of the ad itself.
In fact, the only citation Monty Mason uses in his ad comes at the :12 mark, where the ad ridiculously states that “Diggs vowed to pass a new ban on abortion forcing us to deny care. Jailing doctors and nurses. Putting lives in danger.”
The citation points to Diggs’ campaign website, which states the following:
“I am pro-life and believe we must do better in cultivating a culture of life in Virginia. I will work to expand access to adoption and provide mothers the resources they need to support their children. I also support Governor Youngkin’s common sense proposal to allow abortion up to 15 weeks while leaving in exceptions for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother.”
Monty Mason is running a race on everything he hasn’t done (like being tough on crime and wanting to lower taxes), but voters see right through him. So, now, Monty Mason is fabricating statements that Danny Diggs has never said.
The reason Monty Mason is lying is the same reason all Virginia Democrats are lying – to distract from the fact that they align with Kathy Tran’s position that abortion should be allowed “Through the third trimester... all the way up to 40 weeks.”
In fact, the same year Kathy Tran introduced legislation that would, to her own admission, allow abortions while a woman is in labor, Monty Mason co-sponsored nearly identical legislation in the Senate.
Monty Mason has the same position on abortion as Kathy Tran, which is far too extreme for Virginia. That’s why he is lying.
