Billboard Highlights McCormick Pretending To Be A Farmer and Recent New York Times Report
PENNSYLVANIA — Today, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party is launching a mobile billboard that will follow David McCormick’s campaign events across the Commonwealth, highlighting breaking reporting from New York Times that exposed McCormick for lying about his upbringing — from pretending to be a farmer to lying about how he had “started with nothing.”
Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesperson TaNisha Cameron issued the following statement:
“The truth is David McCormick knows his record as a Connecticut mega-millionaire and hedge fund CEO is disqualifying for Pennsylvanians and he continues to lie about it. He’s been caught not only lying about being a farmer, but about growing up on a farm when he really lived in ‘the president’s mansion.’ Pennsylvanians can’t trust him.”
McCormick Lied About Having Humble Beginnings:
- David McCormick has “given a misleading impression about key aspects of his background.”
- McCormick claimed that he “started with nothing” and “he didn’t have anything” when he actually grew up in a “sprawling hilltop residence.”
- In a 2022 ad, McCormick called his family farm a Christmas tree farm when it was actually used for the family hobby of raising Arabian horses.
