This is how desperate GOP candidates are Re: political ads

In the last hour, I have seen the following claims against Theresa Greenfield or Kara Eastman:

Greenfield will get rid of Medicaid, close 52 Iowa hospitals and raise the price of gas to $13/ gallon.

Kara Eastman will ban meat, ban air travel and raise your taxes $65,000 per family. As proof she will ban meat, her opponent Don BACON shows a clip or Eastman saying, "too much BACON is bad for your health." Does someone need to explain puns to him?

I hope only a few people that are hopeless anyway are buying this garbage. What's the most unhinged claim you have heard this election season?

Their audience of core supporters believed Pizzagate and they follow Q-Anon religiously. Their audience believed Obama was going to use Walmarts in Texas as military staging areas to take over the state, then have FEMA use the Walmarts as processing camps for political prisoners. Their audience believes Clinton is a cannibal child molester, and they believe the Sandy Hook massacre was faked.

Will their core audience believe Greenfield will get rid of Medicaid, close 52 Iowa hospitals and raise the price of gas to $13/ gallon? You betcha!
