Congresswoman, the House going home early is fair criticism.
But then comes the familiar script: Republicans “lie,” Republicans created the high costs, Democrats are fighting for you.
There’s that word again: lie.
Murray used it.
You’re using it.
It’s showing up all over Democratic messaging.
Is this now the strategy?
When the argument gets difficult, repeat the word lie, declare the other side dishonest, and move on?
Did you drop the microphone on your foot?
That isn’t an argument.
It’s an accusation standing in for evidence
Name the policies.
Show the numbers. Prove the accusation.
If Republicans lie, identify the lie and document it.
If Democrats are fighting for people, show what that fight has accomplished.
Otherwise, “they’re lying and we’re fighting for you” sounds less like governing and more like a campaign slogan searching for evidence.
