The Daily Change: FACT CHECK: Scott Brown Says He’s ‘Not A Friend Of Big Oil’ After Voting To Give It $24 Billion

Tonight, Senator Scott Brown faced off with bold progressive candidate Elizabeth Warren in a live television debate. At one point, he claimed he wasn’t a “friend of Big Oil” and talked about how he has taken a look at loopholes and deductions. Watch it:

If he’s not Big Oil’s friend, they’re at least really good acquaintances. This past March, Brown voted with all of his Senate Republican colleagues to give $24 billion to in special subsidies to the oil industry over ten years.

If someone gave you $24 billion, what would you consider them?

    Ha. ha! Unless he was a Republican, anyone who gave me $24 billion I would certainly consider a friend. Again, Brown is simply lying.
