Mike Lawler Spins the Truth

Congressman Lawler constantly spins the truth.

Let’s start with Lawler’s written pledge dated October 7, 2022 to the extremist group Moms for Liberty. A misnomer if ever there was one, as Moms for Liberty has been active throughout the country trying to ban books which is quite the opposite of liberty.

Linked closely to Moms for Liberty is another extremist group, Save Our Schools. Mike Lawler endorsed and supported Christine Sculty, the founder of Westchester Save Our Schools. The principal purpose of Save Our Schools was to take the program that helped children deal with discrimination against race, religion, and gender and call it discrimination against white children. Save Our Schools also fought against children wearing masks in school to prevent the spread of Covid. Lawler is so bold that he actually sells merchandise on his website emblazoned with the name Save Our Schools.

Additionally, Mr. Lawler attempted to further enable book banning, the censoring of teachers, and discrimination against LGBTQ students through the failed Congressional Parents Bill of Rights that he co-sponsored. All this as he constantly states he strongly believes that parents, not bureaucrats, have the right to have a say in their children’s education..

After multiple warnings, Wikipedia prohibited Mr. Lawler from editing his own profile. They called this “conflict-of-interest editing”, stating that it “undermines public confidence.” It was Lawler writing his own truth by changing personal facts. This approach of molding a fictitious image is very similar to that of disgraced George Santos.

Up until January of this year, Congressman Lawler refused to permit the press to attend his town hall events. Clearly Lawler didn’t want his answers recorded so he could be fact checked or so his responses to voters couldn’t be compared to his voting record. According to Common Cause, a nonprofit dedicated to election reform and democracy, “The press plays a critical role in maintaining communication and transparency between our elected officials and the public.” In fact, town hall attendees have been threatened with expulsion if they recorded Lawler.

Lawler, in March of this year, criticized Republicans' approach to reproductive rights and said the party should work harder to understand where average Americans stand on these issues. These are calming words to imply he’ll support abortion if that’s what the people want. While at the same time stating he’s clearly ‘pro-life’ and fully supports Trump who was the catalyst in overturning Roe v Wade.
