John — Our opponent Jim Bognet just released a new ad, and it’s his biggest lie yet.

Here’s the full story: Jim Bognet was fact-checked in July for saying Matt Cartwright wanted to defund the Wilkes-Barre police department. But this correction didn’t stop our opponent from continuing to spread the lie.

And now, not only has Jim Bognet launched an ad with the false lie, but the ad also claims this lie was verified as true by PolitiFact — the exact same fact-checker who debunked the statement as false in July!

Facts matter. Truth matters. But not to our Republican opponent Jim Bognet. That’s why we are asking you to rush a contribution to our Fact-Checking Fund so we can get out the truth about Matt’s position and this bogus lie.

The fact-checkers wrote in the Philadelphia Inquirer: “A Bognet campaign ad claims, ‘Fact-checkers wrote that Cartwright wants to defund the police.’ We actually wrote the opposite. The statement is not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim. We rate it Pants on Fire!”

When confronted about this blatant, embarrassing lie in their ad, the Bognet campaign said: “No one cares anymore about getting fact-checked.”

We care. You care, John. Will you rush a donation right now so that we can ensure the truth gets out?

This proves beyond all doubt that Jim Bognet will literally do or say ANYTHING to flip this seat from blue to red. If we want to stop him, we need grassroots support to get our message out about Jim Bognet’s egregious lies. Can we count on you to chip in to our Fact-Checking Fund now?
