Recommended Posts

Endorsement Request: Mark Ruffalo

1. Pete McCloskey doesn’t like fake socialist Bernie. But he is better than Biden, and Biden is winning. Clearly the time has come for a new attack. Pete McCloskey launches attack ads on Biden in Iowa.

”Biden used to work with segregationists, and opposed busing. Is this the kind of person we want as president?”

2. Pete McCloskey does more attack ads on Biden in Iowa.

”Biden said to his donors that ‘Nothing will fundamentally change’. He won’t fix the Trump tax cuts, or the many foreign wars, or the inequality and elitism of the 1%. Is this the kind of person we want as president?”

3. Pete McCloskey does even more attack ads on Biden in Iowa.

”Biden said in 2004 that he opposes gay marriage, and that marriage is between a man and a woman. Is this the kind of person that we want as president?”
