Rachel Maddow, MSNBC: “‘David McCormick Is Gearing Up For A Senate Run In Pennsylvania. But He Lives In Connecticut.’ That Seems Bad.”
PENNSYLVANIA — David McCormick’s lies about where he’s from and where he lives made the front page in Pennsylvania this week following a recent report from the New York Times that exposed him for giving “a misleading impression about key aspects of his background.”

Morning Call: Candidate claims he grew up on a Bloomsburg farm
MSNBC: The Rachel Maddow Show
- Rachel Maddow: “This is a live dynamic right now in the Republican Party in way more places than you would think. Here, for example, is the AP headline on the Republican’s Senate candidate in Pennsylvania. ‘David McCormick is gearing up for a Senate run in Pennsylvania. But he lives in Connecticut.’ That seems bad.”
- Maddow: “Well now, the Republicans are going to try again in Pennsylvania, except this time they’re running a guy who lives in Connecticut. To try and maybe head off the same thing happening again – like what happened with Dr. Mehmet Oz – they have developed a backstory for their candidate this time around – who lives in Connecticut. They have decided that he is going to describe himself as someone that grew up with ‘nothing,’ who grew up on a family farm in Pennsylvania. Did he start with nothing? Did he grow up on a family farm in Pennsylvania? What do you think?”
