Out-of-Stater Navigator: Tim Sheehy is Out-of-Touch and Unelectable

Transplant Tim Sheehy continues to make it clear why he is unfit to serve as a senator. Following his comments calling for abortion “all to end tomorrow,” the Montana Democratic Party released a new video so Montanans can hear his extreme rhetoric for themselves.

NEW OP-ED: “SHEEHY WANTS ABORTION ‘ALL TO END TOMORROW’”

In a new op-ed, Montana Democratic Party Executive Director Sheila Hogan outlined Sheehy’s agenda to take away Montanans’ freedoms, after reporting revealed that Sheehy said he wants abortion “all to end tomorrow."

MONTANANS KNOW THE TRUTH: SHEEHY WANTS TO BAN ABORTION

Sheehy wants to ban abortion, he opposes CI-128, the ballot measure to protect Montanans’ reproductive freedoms and he’s called abortion “murder.”Without these protections, politicians have the power to ban abortion here in Montana without exceptions. 

Across the state, Montanans are making Sheehy’s anti-freedom record known: 

• Daily Inter Lake: Sheehy is a threat to Montanans’ reproductive rights
• Missoulian: Letter to the editor: Tester supports health care access
• Bozeman Daily Chronicle: Letter to the editor: A vote for Tester is a vote for reproductive health care
• Montana Standard: Letter to the editor: We should all be alarmed when basic reproductive rights are threatened
• Missoulian: Letter to the editor: Tester is a champion for reproductive freedom
• Bozeman Daily Chronicle: Letter to the editor: Jon Tester stands with women and for freedom
• Helena Independent Record: Letter to the editor: Politicians should stay out of personal decisions

CROW TRIBE CHAIRMAN CONDEMNS SHEEHY’S OFFENSIVE COMMENTS ABOUT NATIVE AMERICANS

Crow Tribe Chairman Frank White Clay condemned Sheehy’s offensive comments about Native Americans in a new statement, calling Sheehy’s remarks “highly unprofessional,” “unacceptable,” “degrading” and “disparaging.”

Char-Koosta News first reported on Sheehy’s comments. At a campaign event, Sheehy referenced a recent reservation visit as a “a great way to bond with all the Indians while they’re drunk at 8:00 A.M.,” and mimicked Native voices calling him “white boy.”

RETIRED MONTANA DOCTOR SLAMS SHEEHY’S “PURE PRIVATIZATION” PLAN IN NEW OP-ED

In a recent op-ed, retired Montana physician Dr. David Lehnherr in Red Lodge put Sheehy’s “pure privatization” health care plan through the X-ray – and the results came back showing it’s a “nightmare” that would “jeopardize access to health care for families across our state.”

From gutting Medicare to shuttering Montana’s rural hospitals, Dr. Lehnherr unpacks the different ways Tim Sheehy’s health care plan would disastrously impact health services in Montana.

SHEEHY’S PATTERN OF MISLEADING MONTANANS ABOUT WHO HE IS

In case you missed it, recent reporting revealed that Sheehy lied again about his military service record. It’s just the latest in a pattern of lies that Sheehy has told to Montanans about who he is and what he believes.

He has also “offered inconsistent accounts of his war wounds” – leading Montana reporters to observe Sheehy’s “bullet story doesn't add up” (while refusing to release his medical records that would reveal what happened). 

He’s lied about growing up in a “rural” area, dubbed himself a “cowboy,” despite not running the day-to-day operations of the ranch land, and said he “bootstrapped” his company “from scratch” while conveniently omitting the $600,000 he raked in from his family to start his business. 

Sheehy also supports transferring Montana’s public lands, and he’s lying to Montanans about it. The truth is that he’s called for public lands to “get turned over to state agencies, or even counties,” which would make it easier to sell off public lands to out-of-state multimillionaires like him.
