MAGA Republicans think Pennsylvanians are foolish, gullible and unworthy of respect. Just look at their political attack ads and signs; they lack context or are outright lies.

What fool believes that Harris, a former district attorney and attorney general, cares more about criminals than she does about us? Or that she laughs about economic woes? Unfortunately, truth-in-advertising rules don’t apply to political ads; broadcast stations must accept all ads. Don’t be bamboozled; verify claims made in Republican political ads.

Trump will keep us safe? FBI statistics show that violent crime spiked under Trump and fell consistently after he left office.

Trump favors low taxes? Yes, but only for the very wealthy. Tariffs will cost ordinary Americans thousands of dollars each year.

According to Bloomberg and other business leaders, Harris’ policies will help Americans; Trump’s will hurt us.

We shouldn’t be surprised by MAGA deception. Trump feeds on lies even though lies hurt those he says he’ll protect. His false claims about FEMA’s recovery efforts endanger those providing aid–and prevent those who desperately need it from getting it.

Trump demeans anyone who opposes him. He’s an authoritarian and a tormentor who intimidates others with slurs and childish name-calling. He has vilified critics, entire ethnic groups and even countries.

Pennsylvanians don’t want a president who trafficks in lies and insults. We want someone who cares about Americans and provides a role model for our children.

Trump can’t con us. We’ll elect Kamala Harris.
