What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTime for the Bonk-o-Meter. Breitbart reports New Hampshire Democrat Stefany Shaheen says, quote, we've got to roll back these tax breaks.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShe's running for Congress, Hank. Her mother is a U.S. senator, and the story says she's had financial and political support connected to her.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt also notes she backed tax and fee increases as a Portsmouth city councilor. So the claim checks out against her own record.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA candidate who does what she said?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWild, I know. The tax breaks in question are the Republican ones. Rolling them back is a position, not a rumor.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd draft her in the second round. Great hands, a famous name on the jersey, a veteran coach in the stands.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSecond round, for consistency.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRating: Mildly Bonkers. The only thing that earned it is how long I took to say it. Brock, is it raining on anyone's promises?
