Trump Ad Incorrectly Blames Dem For GOP Health Care Struggle
President Donald Trump is lashing out at Democrats in a new TV ad that incorrectly blames his critics in the opposing party for blocking fixes to the nation's health care system. The new ad, set to begin airing on cable stations nationwide on Tuesday, seizes on "skyrocketing" insurance premiums "all while Democrats in Washington, D.C., block a better plan to repeal and replace Obamacare once and for all — obstructing our president just to score political points with the radical left."

RNC Ad Blames Democrats For Failure To Repeal ObamaCare
A new ad from the Republican National Committee (RNC) claims ObamaCare is “failing," and blames Democrats for congressional Republicans' failure to repeal and replace the law earlier this year. The ad points to "skyrocketing" insurance premiums as an example of ObamaCare failing, and hits Democrats for blocking “a better plan to repeal and replace Obamacare once and for all — obstructing our president just to score political points with the radical left.” (Weixel, 10/31)
