THIS —> EPIC Post Drops Democrats Claiming Republican Tax Cuts Cost Americans THE MOST on Their Head
Twitchy disputes Murray’s statement that Republican-led tax cuts have been the biggest driver of the national debt.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYThe publisher's recorded credibility rating is 38, and the page is an opinionated blog post rather than a transparently sourced, independently reported news story. The author is named, but the article relies heavily on a cited advocacy-oriented analysis and offers little opposing perspective.
- Track record — The publisher's own rating is 38 based on 95 stories; no clear page-specific reason warrants departing from it.
- Source type — Blog format and strongly partisan presentation provide a low institutional-credibility prior.
- Author attribution — An author is identified as Sam J., though no fuller credentials or reporting process are provided.
- Editorial standards — The page makes forceful claims but does not show a corrections policy or robust independent verification.
The article includes figures and claims attributed to Just Facts, the Congressional Budget Office, and a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget study. However, it presents the evidence selectively, uses insults and emphatic language, and does not include a response or meaningful counterargument from Murray.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article is largely one-sided: it criticizes Murray and her claim, but does not provide her reasoning beyond a short quoted statement or include a response from her or a competing expert.
- Counterarguments presented — Murray's claim is quoted, but her supporting argument is not developed and no response is solicited.
- Loaded language — The opening calls Democrats liars, and the article uses openly derisive phrasing.
- Source diversity — The article cites figures and a study but does not present a balanced range of expert perspectives.
The article uses explicitly hostile language about Democrats and strongly favors the argument that tax cuts are not responsible for the debt. Its framing and selection of supporting claims point sharply to the right.
- Language tone — Calls Democrats liars and uses mocking, emphatic language.
- Framing — Frames Murray's claim as refuted and presents the article's preferred explanation as decisive.
- Source selection — Relies on evidence aligned with its argument without presenting a substantive opposing analysis.
Twitchy argues that Senator Patty Murray’s claim about Republican-led tax cuts and the national debt is wrong, citing spending trends and a debt study. The article presents the case in strongly critical, one-sided terms.
Senator Patty Murray said that Republican-led tax cuts have been the biggest driver of national debt over the past 25 years. Twitchy disputes her claim, arguing that federal spending—particularly spending on social programs and interest on the debt—is the larger driver. The article cites figures attributed to Just Facts and a study by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
