Maggie Hassan released a laughable new advertisement calling herself “fiscally responsible” today – but her record tells a completely different story.
Hassan voted for the $1.9 trillion so-called “American Rescue Plan” that is rife with waste and frivolous spending. Economists across the ideological spectrum blame this boondoggle for making inflation worse, driving up costs for everything on New Hampshire families:
- AP: “Pandemic relief money spent on hotel, ballpark, ski slopes”
- Fox News: “Blue states blasted for ‘appalling’ move to use COVID relief money to fund CRT: ‘A trojan horse’”
- Fox News: “EPA used COVID-19 relief funds for grants promoting ‘green infrastructure,’ ‘environmental justice’”
- Breitbart: “D.C. Spent $3 Million in Coronavirus Aid Funding to Make Black Lives Matter Plaza Permanent”
- Bloomberg: “Biden’s Rescue Money Doled Out to Racehorse Owners, Influencers”
- Route Fifty: “Federal Covid Aid is Funding a Pickleball Court Construction Boom”
- Fox News: Millions from Biden’s COVID relief bill went to museum, university programs pushing social, climate justice
- Fox News: “EPA spends millions from Biden’s COVID bill on climate change programs, EV Rideshares, ‘pruning workshops’”
- Fox News: “$825K in American Rescue Plan funds went to ‘oral historians’ researching anti-racism, ‘Latinx’ histories”
- Fox News: “$15M in American Rescue Plan funds went to ‘anti-racism,’ ‘social activism’ programs for kids”
“Maggie Hassan doth protest too much after joining DC liberals to rubber stamp absurd spending on frivolous projects she can’t justify. Granite Staters are smart enough to see through Hassan’s transparent deflections and will make their evaluation based on her voting record – which is exactly the conversation Hassan is afraid to have.” -SLF Communications Director Jack Pandol
