I’d like to think that in the GOP, ads are fair and deal in truth. I said I’d like to think that, but even in the GOP the means justify the ends, and ads are allowed to shade or distort the truth in order to make a point. Case in point is the pro-Trump PAC “Maga, Inc.”, branding DeSantis as “Ron DeSalesTax” and asserting that he wanted to — and here’s the key word — add a 23% federal sales tax on the backs of every American. That simply isn’t true.
