Bucks County Beacon: Pennsylvania Democrats Launch ‘Pants of Fire Tour’ to Hold Republican Senate Candidate Dave McCormick Accountable for His Lies

• The Pennsylvania Democratic Party is launching its “Pants of Fire Tour” holding Dave McCormick accountable as the race for U.S. Senate heats up. The tour will host a series of events “holding David McCormick accountable for his lies.”

• The tour will include the “Pants on Fire Brigade” and “Pants on Fire” fire trucks traveling across the state highlighting McCormick’s record of dishonesty.

• During his race against Mehmet Oz for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, McCormick called out Oz for living in New Jersey, but McCormick’s own Pennsylvania residency is questionable. 

• McCormick owns a home in Pittsburgh and a family farm in Bloomsburg, but flight records show McCormick commuting via private plane from his $16 million rental in Bridgewater, Connecticut to campaign events in Pennsylvania. 

• […] PA Democrats are calling out McCormick’s involvement in investing in Chinese military companies during his time as CEO of Bridgewater Associates. 

• PA Democrats also took aim at McCormick eliminating and outsourcing jobs to China and India as CEO of FreeMarkets, a global software company. McCormick claims to be a “job creator” on his own social media accounts, but laid off almost 200 hundred employees from FreeMarkets after becoming CEO.
