"Madame" Jari Askins accuses Todd Hiett in
this ad of
"not telling the truth" about her record on taxes. In the ad, in which "Madame" Askins said was shot in the
"First Christian Church I grew up in" (that's another post right there alone) she says,
"My only votes on taxes have been to trust the people to decide." "Madame" Askins later says she voted for the tax cuts
"after she made sure everybody benefited, not just the wealthy."
The cherry on top of this ice cream sundae of BS, is when she earnestly says to the camera:
"People that know me know I'm a conservative, not a liberal!"
