NRCC Hits Joe Garcia for Gutting Medicare to Fund Obamacare

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) launched a TV ad on Tuesday hitting U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia for gutting Medicare to fund President Barack Obamas federal health-care law. Garcia is facing a tough challenge from Miami-Dade School Board member Carlos Curbelo.

Fact checkers call Garcias ads misleading and false, the narrator of the ad says. The truth? It was Garcia who supported Obamacare, cutting $700 billion from Medicare. And it was Garcia who supported a plan to raise the Social Security retirement age to 69, and cut benefits. Joe Garcia. False attacks. Failing seniors. Carlos Curbelos plan protects seniors. And will make sure seniors get the benefits they deserve.

Katie Prill, a spokeswoman for the NRCC, also took a shot at Garcia.

Corrupt Joe Garcia supports a plan that cut $700 billion from Medicare, Prill said on Tuesday. He has also made it clear he wants to raise the Social Security retirement age. South Florida seniors deserve better. Joe Garcia has not only embarrassed this district with his corruption scandals, now hes failing our seniors.
