As noted in my diary earlier today, Hillary Clinton is doing Robocalls on behalf of Cuomo and Hochul in New York. I completely overlooked a major point in that diary concerning the actual content of the call. I thought it was important enough to warrant its own stand alone diary.
For background on former Congressperson Hochul, see this diary by David Nir from Thursday in which Hochul herself says:
I did not support Obamacare 100 percent, of course. I voted many times to repeal it, so you just need to look at my record.
Now, how does that square with Hillary's
robocall in which she says regarding Hochul:
“As our Lieutenant Governor, she’ll never, ever give up on New York’s families,” she says. “She’s fought for women’s rights to make their own health care decisions, for equal pay, for equal work, to protect Medicare, and to provide affordable health care for millions of American families. Kathy will work hard every day to make sure our economy delivers for all New Yorkers. That is why we need Kathy Hochul as Lieutenant Governor.”

Can someone explain to me how a Democratic Congressperson voting "many times" to repeal Obamacare is "helping to provide affordable healthcare to millions of Americans"?
Personally, I think it rises to the level of a flat out misrepresentation.
