This past weekend, Axne admitted to lying. While telling the Clerk she could not vote in person due to the “ongoing public health emergency,” Axne was on a "planned" vacation to France.
FACT’s Executive Director, Kendra Arnold told Breitbart, "This is a clear case where Rep. Axne blatantly made a false statement to the House Clerk, and by extension to the American people.”
"Iowans expect more out of their Representatives in Congress. This was a blatant attempt to lie to Iowans and now Axne has been caught," said Republican Party of Iowa Communications Director Kollin Crompton. "This ethics complaint lays it out very clearly: Axne lied."
