TribLive Letter to the Editor: “We Can’t Trust McCormick. Pennsylvanians Deserve Better.”
PennLive Letter to the Editor: “Would You Trust A Multi-Millionaire Hedge Fund Manager to Represent Your Interests in the Senate? I Don’t.”
PENNSYLVANIA — Pennsylvanians are calling out Connecticut hedge fund CEO and mega-millionaire David McCormick for lying about being a job creator following a recent report from WHYY exposing McCormick’s real record of laying off hundreds of workers in Pittsburgh as CEO of Freemarkets.
McCormick is also getting slammed for being out-of-touch and having a dangerous anti-choice agenda.
Here’s What Pennsylvanians Are Saying:
TribLive Letter to the Editor: We can’t trust McCormick
- David McCormick is pitching himself as a Pennsylvania “job creator” who we can trust to lead us. But I believe we can’t trust him because he is lying.
- A steady stream of reports have uncovered the truth: McCormick has a long record of killing American jobs.
- Now, we’ve learned McCormick eliminated hundreds of jobs in Pittsburgh as the CEO of FreeMarkets to protect his own bottom line.
- In the years he took over as CEO, he cut hundreds of American jobs and shipped them overseas to India and China — a move that netted him millions and left Pennsylvania workers in the lurch.
- It’s a pattern that has followed McCormick at every point of his business career. He laid off and outsourced more than 400 jobs as CEO of Bridgewater using taxpayer-funded subsidies; he invested $92 million in companies that outsourced American jobs — over 2,600 of which were in Pennsylvania; and he shorted the stocks of American steel manufacturers and invested in their foreign competitors.
- Each time, it was the same: McCormick got rich while hardworking Pennsylvanians lost their jobs.
- We can’t trust McCormick. Pennsylvanians deserve better. We deserve Sen. Bob Casey, who will work for all Pennsylvanians.
PennLive Letter to the Editor: I don’t know where Dave McCormick stands on the issues
- […] What I would like to know is where he stands on women’s abortion rights.[…]
- On the most critical issues we face in Pennsylvania, McCormick’s unwillingness to come out and tell the electorate where he stands on the really critical issues exposes his regressive politics and his disjoint from the lives of ordinary, working class Pennsylvanians.
- Would you trust a multi-millionaire hedge fund manager to represent your interests in the Senate? I don’t.
PennLive Letter to the Editor: Dave McCormick shouldn’t trash U.S. Sen. Casey’s service and legacy
- One would think he’d have some idea of local issues. However, I suppose as a successful businessman and having lots of money then that is enough to start at the top … like Trump. And that would leave me to believe that some folks think that is enough to qualify him for a seat in the senate.
- On the other hand, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey has years of personal service to Pennsylvanians and lived his life in Pennsylvania, not Connecticut. But what bothered me most was McCormick’s ad on TV trashing Casey’s service and legacy, nothing to inform me of what he will do for Pennsylvania. Instead it was a repeat of the angry MAGA party line. Is this what McCormick considers leadership?
