The Freedom 250 Grand Prix took place in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, and naturally many Democrats could be counted on to try and find ways to dump on the latest celebration of America's 250th.
Adam Schiff tried to do his thing with the race, and of course he didn't mention that the vast majority of this was privately funded:
While you struggle with the cost of gas, Trump offers you the spectacle of an IndyCar race hoping you will not notice.

More taxpayer money spent on his self-aggrandizing distractions.
And you get higher taxes and higher costs. pic.twitter.com/gYca1FDqJh
Nothing infuriates liberals quite like patriots having a good time. Maybe somebody should have told the Democrats that the drivers were all in the country illegally and they'd have applauded.
Trump hosts privately funded events to celebrate the 250th birth of USA, to be enjoyed by all.

Schiff and Democrats spend BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of tax payer $$ to fund ILLEGALS, FRAUD and their luxurious salaries and trips around the world. Benefiting NO ONE.
Also, Schiff and the Democrats had no problem with this lunacy.

The race was privately funded by Penske/IndyCar, pencil neck. But now that we’re on the topic of taxpayer-funded events. Why were you cool with forcing taxpayers to spend $1.3 million on this? https://t.co/W09fYmzv2S pic.twitter.com/IkVV0BVehv

That was "D"ifferent!
Adam Schiff apparently didn’t bother checking who actually paid for the race before blaming Trump for “more taxpayer money spent.”

Penske paid the vast majority of the Freedom 250 costs. Private sponsors covered more. Penske says it took no federal money to produce the race.… https://t.co/4flzCpyZEi
Schiff's a serial liar so we shouldn't be surprised he's being dishonest again.
