“I have to report to you that there is a dark occurrence happening in many parts of America right now where a fraud is being perpetrated on people who are vulnerable, people who are sometimes more gullible than maybe many in the population, and people who can be preyed upon by appealing to real anxiety that turns into the exploitation of fear when, instead of being truthful, what is happening is that those individuals are being pushed into believing something that is simply not the case. I am speaking about a very, very expensive, well thought out, well produced, calculated demagogic ad campaign that is designed to persuade senior citizens in our country that this Congress is trying to not only cut but gut Medicare and destroy the safety net, the health care safety net for senior citizens. It is an ad campaign that is not only well done, well thought out and well produced and absolutely blatantly demagogically false, but it is also being paid for in a way that those who are being forced to pay for it do not even approve and do not want it to exist.”
