The Billboard Truck Read: “Lititz, PA: 216 Miles Away from David McCormick’s Home in Westport, CT”
PENNSYLVANIA — A mobile billboard truck highlighting David McCormick’s record of lying about living in Pennsylvania circled his campaign event in Lititz today. The billboard read, “Lititz, PA: 216 Miles Away from David McCormick’s Home in Westport, CT.”
Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesperson TaNisha Cameron issued the following statement:
“David McCormick is a Connecticut hedge fund executive and mega-millionaire that has a long record of lying about living in Pennsylvania. He’s been caught chartering private planes to fly to Pennsylvania from his multi-million dollar mansion in Connecticut and refuses to say how much time he spends in Pennsylvania. David McCormick’s lies are disqualifying and Pennsylvanians are fed up.”
