The Republican National Committee called out Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman on Wednesday for lying about his views on crime.

Fetterman says in a new ad that Mehmet Oz’s claims about him supporting the release of a third of Pennsylvania’s prison population have been “proven false,” but the RNC brought the receipts, reminding the Democrat of 11 times he's on video advocating for just that.
