We thought it couldn’t get worse than the last ad which included boldface lies that Joe Garcia was under FBI investigation, and that Joe tried to get a job with Enron.
But now, Diaz-Balart just went from amazing lies to ABSOLUTELY %#$@* RIDICULOUS!
In their latest ad, Diaz-Balart directly accuses Joe (who never had any type of connection at all with Enron) of actually being responsible for the Enron scandal. This is absolutely incredible! They are just making things up out of thin air.
They then continue the lie by saying that Joe increased utility rates when, in fact, Joe ushered in the largest utility rate cut in Florida history. The truth is that Joe saved consumers over a billion dollars. Diaz-Balart knows the facts, but still insists on perpetrating these bold-faced lies. Does it get any more Rovian than that?
Here is the video:
Look, Joe is not a typical politician. He has been walking the neighborhoods of South Florida since February and loves interacting with people. He is also not a stiff suit who doesn’t know how to lighten up. Joe was having a good time and being funny. If they want to attack Joe for that... bring it on!
But to totally make stuff up like this... we CANNOT allow them to get away with this.
Diaz-Balart’s first lies have been repeatedly debunked. Now he is responding with even more outrageous lies. It’s even more outrageous when you realize how hypocritical it is. Mario Diaz-Balart has taken money from a registered Enron lobbyist and his brother, Lincoln, directly took Enron money.
We cannot stand for this. We are fighting back with our own ads, but we need your help. You have been a huge part of our success so far, and we need your help in this final push.
Please join us.
