(BISMARCK, ND) – Between PolitiFact’s finding that Cramer “distorts [his] record” on voting for government shutdowns to The Forum’s Jack Zaleski finding that “the premise” of Cramer’s Medicare ad “is false […] Cramer has always wanted to mess with Medicare,” Cramer just can’t seem to tell North Dakotans the truth – twisting, distorting, and lying about his record to hide his real, unsavory agenda.

While Cramer’s actions were not direct votes on keeping the government open, they encouraged the 2013 shutdown.
We rate this statement Mostly False.
