From TPM: GOP Rep. Jason Lewis Filmed Himself Canvassing Voters ... Outside His District
This hilarious. GOP Rep. Jason Lewis Filmed Himself Canvassing Voters ... Outside His District
An incumbent Republican congressman mocked his Democratic opponent as manufactured in a campaign video released Monday. But the video, which shows the congressman acting like hes canvassing voters in a suburban Minnesota neighborhood, doesnt appear to have been filmed in the congressmans actual district.
Instead, Rep. Jason Lewis (R-MN) apparently filmed it in the suburb he calls home, one district north of the area he represents in Congress.
Lewis campaign video, called A manufactured Craig vs. an honest Lewis, shows him holding what look to be campaign materials and walking away from the front door of an upscale home, as if he had just spoken to a voter in his district about his re-election campaign. He waves to someone off-camera.
Addressing his online audience, Lewis mocks his Democratic opponent, Angie Craig, for one of her campaign ads. Anybody can put on a flannel shirt and pretend to be something theyre not, Lewis says, adding at the end of the video: While shes still at the bar, Ill stay out here being honest with voters.
The responses to this lying liar's lies on Twitter are hilarious.
