House Repubs’ “Commitment to America” – Your Eyes Ain’t Lyin’
Led by Kevin McCarthy, House Republicans on Friday were very proud to release to the world their newest and bestest plans for America’s future. They call it ‘The Preamble to the Commitment to America’; with a video and narrator presenting soul capturing scenes of everyday American life.
Nice.
There’s only one very large problem: the scenes are stock images from scenes in Russia, and one from Ukraine.
And, the video was created by Serg Grbanoff – he’s a Russia-based filmmaker.
