Hello everyone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It’s been the honor of my life running as the Democratic nominee for #TX02 and fighting to get @JoeBiden elected. Just 11 short months ago, we began this campaign with a belief.
[THREAD]
A belief that health care is a human right — not a privilege for the few. A belief that politicians must be held accountable to the people, and that conscience must always come before career. And a belief that, together, we can turn our American Dream into an American Reality.
We always knew this fight would be an uphill battle, but I was never scared to take on this challenge. As a woman of color, an immigrant, and a breast cancer survivor, I’ve been defying the odds my whole life.
1. Politicians who undermine basic public health measures, spread disinformation, & take no personal responsibility should be held accountable for endangering our families.
.@DanCrenshawTX was asked about me. His answer? A Trump-style train wreck. Dan claimed that the Affordable Care Act "wasn't clear" about protecting pre-existing conditions.
For someone with a podcast called "Hold These Truths," he sure can't tell one.
FACT CHECK (1/15)
On November 10, the Supreme Court will hear a GOP-led lawsuit to gut the Affordable Care Act with @DanCrenshawTX's blessing. If successful, well over 1 million Texans could lose their health insurance. (2/15) texastribune.org/2020/09/25/tex…
The ACA was enacted in 2010 to make health care more affordable & accessible for all Americans. Changes include:
✅Protecting coverage for people with PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS (*cough cough, @DanCrenshawTX*)
✅Requiring plans to cover free wellness & pregnancy exams (3/15)
On May 21, @DanCrenshawTX said the public does not need to follow Judge Hidalgo’s mask orders, chastising her “immaturity” before claiming the virus “is not that bad and it never was." (3/16) thedisruptionzone.com/2020/05/21/dz-…
Since @DanCrenshawTX is in the mood to make a fool of himself today, I figured I'd help him out.
Dan just dropped his new 'health care' ad, and *surprise, surprise* the congressman forgot about his own voting record. Good thing I kept ALL the receipts for him! 🤡
THREAD(1/23)
In the new ad, Dan makes four claims about what he’ll do.
Two of his claims — “decrease your costs with more choice and transparency” and “increase your access to doctors you trust” — were too vague for anyone to fact check.
1) Dan talked about honoring heroes, but he claimed @SenDuckworth — Purple Heart recipient who lost both of her legs in combat — "stands" for the "destruction of America." washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
2) @DanCrenshawTX talked about the frontline heroes selflessly serving us all. But he forgot to mention the bipartisan group of 100+ Houston doctors who plead with him to stop spreading dangerous disinformation about the pandemic.
3) @DanCrenshawTX talked about stopping chaos and protecting heroes. But he's been calling the president's @USPS slowdown a "conspiracy theory," which left tens of thousands of veterans waiting on life-saving medications. foxnews.com/us/usps-delays…
