If you’ve seen all the negative advertising in our U.S. Senate race, it’s clear that Democrat U.S. Sen. Jon Tester knows he is losing the race badly to former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy.

There’s been no shortage of insulting lies coming from Jon Tester and his liberal allies, especially on the issue of health care.
