The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

While on ABC’s “This Week” Senator Sam Brownback lied Sunday morning when he claimed Democrats have taken money from Jack Abramoff:

(Off-camera) How well did you know Jack Abramoff and did he ever ask you to take action on behalf of his clients?

SENATOR SAM BROWNBACK (REPUBLICAN)

He never asked me to take any action on behalf of any of his clients. I met him once over a breakfast or a lunch meeting and that was the only personal contact that I had with him. Obviously he was raising lots of money from Native American tribes and trying to move up fast and rapidly. I think he gave money to nearly 80 members in the United States Senate so he was spreading it amongst Republicans and Democrats. And I’m hopeful that the trail is followed and let’s pursue this and let’s pursue it aggressively so that we can show the people good, honest, clean government. (From Lexis Nexis Archives)

Brownback should come clean and admit no Democrats took money from Jack Abramoff. If what he said was not what he meant to say, he should learn to be more precise in his wording. As the statement stands, this is a lie.
