Tester’s October surprises

| October 31, 2024 12:00 AM

The long-awaited October lies by Tester have arrived on schedule.

In Tester’s campaign against Senator Conrad Burns in 2006, Tester waited until the end of October during the campaign to claim Burns had ties to “bad boy” Jack Abramoff. There wasn’t enough time to fully clear Senator Burns. Hence, Tester wins.

Later, Tester admitted that Conrad Burns was not involved with Abramoff and it was his error.

Forward to the next Senatorial election in 2012, running against Dennis Rehberg. Tester once again, in the waning days of the election, accused Rehberg of raking in millions from oil and gas and that he was against women’s health care. Yep, you guessed it! All accusations were false and it was found then that Tester was the recipient of out-of-state, dark money.

Fast forward to 2018 and Matt Rosendale. There were more falsehoods brought to surface and they were found untrue after the election.

Tester campaigns on his love for and involvement in Veteran’s Affairs. Yes, he helped build a beautiful building in Missoula for one example but, as a vet and a volunteer driver for vets to doctor’s appointments, I witnessed the mess at the Vet Hospital in Helena and I have never delivered a vet to the new structure in Missoula. It was at that time that then President Trump was responsible for allowing vets to see their personal physicians.

Here it is, 2024 and a couple of weeks before the election and the cycle begins again, especially going after Tim Sheehy. The falsehoods can all be researched and documented. Please do not fall for Jon Tester’s untruths and be very wary of Chuck Schumer’s Last Best Place PAC and Montanans for Tester.
