FACT CHECK: McFadden Twists Washington Numbers For Another Misleading Ad











Sen. Franken has a record of working across party lines to deliver results

Today, the Franken campaign released the following statement in response to investment banker Mike McFadden’s latest attack ad.

“The real choice Minnesotans face this election is who will work hard and stand up for them in the Senate. Sen. Franken has a strong record of working across party lines to deliver concrete results, and has repeatedly stood up to the President and his administration when his policies, proposals or regulations don’t make sense for Minnesotans,” said Franken campaign spokesperson Alexandra Fetissoff.

“Investment banker Mike McFadden has made it clear that he’ll put the interests of big corporations and powerful special interests ahead of middle class families. McFadden has repeatedly defended tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs overseas and he would eliminate the federal minimum wage, raise the Medicare retirement age and consider privatizing Social Security.”

The so-called “study” McFadden uses to call Sen. Franken “the most partisan Senator in all of Congress” also claims that Sen. Ted Cruz is more bipartisan than half the U.S. Senate—the same Tea Party Republican who led the charge to shut down the government last year.
