LIBERAL RUBBER STAMP

In a TV commercial published June 15, 2022, Tim Ryan said “I don’t answer to any political party. I answer to the folks I grew up with and the families like yours all across Ohio.”

OPEN BORDERS

When Tim Ryan appears on Fox News, he says we need a secure border. But Tim Ryan has repeatedly voted against border security measures, allowing our southern border to be transformed in to drug and sex trafficking capital of the world.

In 2018, Tim Ryan told Fox News, “we need a strong border. There’s no question about it.” He also said, “I come from Ohio. We have a heroin epidemic here. We need law enforcement on the ground taking drug dealers out of the country.”
