PA-08: Ahead of Trump NEPA Visit, DCCC Launches Ad Takeover Blasting Bresnahan [View all]

Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to Northeastern Pennsylvania on Tuesday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is launching a digital ad takeover of the Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader website to remind readers that stock-trading Congressman Rob Bresnahan (R-08) has become the poster-child of the swamp that Trump – who won this district – promised to drain.

The digital ads, which will blanket the Times-Leader’s webpage during the day of Trump’s visit, read: “Donald Trump campaigned on draining the swamp. Stock trading Rep. Rob Bresnahan is part of the problem.”

“Congressman Rob Bresnahan has become the exact kind of corrupt Washington politician that candidate Donald Trump warned about when he campaigned on draining the swamp,” said DCCC spokesperson Eli Cousin. “Bresnahan ran on a pledge to ban congressional stock trading, but has instead become one of the worst offenders – looking out for his own bottom line while doing nothing to lower costs for hardworking Northeastern Pennsylvanians. If you want to drain the swamp, firing Bresnahan is a good place to start.”

Bresnahan has drawn the ire of Democrats and Republicans alike for his continued trading of securities since assuming his seat in the U.S. House in January.
