Jessica Morse’s New Ad Attacks Rep. Kevin Kiley With Lies
Politicians resort to lying when they can’t sell voters on their policy positions, or they have none
By Katy Grimes, September 18, 2024 7:49 am
Congressional candidate and repeat fibber Jessica Morse posted a new TV ad Tuesday, claiming Republican California Congressman Kevin Kiley (CA-03) wants to ban all abortions nationwide, even for victims of rape and incest.
This is not true, and the truth still matters.
In the ad a woman shares about being a survivor of the Northern California Camp fire and a sexual assault. “I lost my home after being sexually assaulted. I almost lost my life. Then after all that I found out I was pregnant. If I hadn’t been able to get an abortion, I don’t know where I’d be.”
These are horrible events in anyone’s life.
However, she then states, “Kevin Kiley wants to be an abortion nationwide. With no exceptions for rape or incest, no exceptions for survivors. Like me, it’s disgusting and cruel. Kevin Kiley should not be in Congress.”
“I’m Jessica Morse. And I approve this message,” should have more meaning, but it doesn’t. This ad is a textbook example of how if a lie is told enough times, people will assume it is true. And that’s the game in politics.
Jessica Morse is no stranger to lies. “At the 2024 Nevada County Fair, Jessica Morse claimed to have served in the military, then changed her story after being questioned by a military family,” Susan Walsh reported for the Globe in August. Morse claimed she “got sent to Baghdad” and was “getting shot at.”
When she ran for Congress in 2018, Morse listed a false ballot designation. According to Ben Christopher of CalMatters, “a judge stripped Democratic candidate Jessica Morse of her chosen designation, ‘National Security Strategist,’ after Regina Bateson, another Democrat in the race, sued.”
The Sacramento Bee reported on Morse’s embellished career details:
“Jessica Morse, a Democratic challenger of Tom McClintock, likes to detail an illustrious foreign policy career on the campaign trail. But is it true? Managed half of America’s foreign aid budget. Rewrote the U.S.-India defense strategy. Adviser to a four-star admiral. These are some of the highlights of Jessica Morse’s career that the 35-year-old Democrat likes to emphasize on the campaign trail.”
“In fact, Morse served as one member of a small team, the India Strategic Focus Group, headed by an army colonel,” for about 6 months.
Now Jessica Morse is claiming that Kevin Kiley wants to ban abortion nationwide, “with no exceptions for rape or incest.”
Morse bases this claim on a 2021 budget proposal from the Republican Study Committee – before Kiley was elected to the House. While Kiley is a member of the RSC his campaign told the Globe he had absolutely nothing to do with this proposal and was unaware of its existence. And, he obviously never voted for it, nor did he introduce or co-sponsor any legislation to implement this budget.
A recent issue from the Republican Study Committee (RSC) Steering Committee was in June 2024 when the committee adopted a position in support of Representative Beth Van Duyne’s amendment to “prohibit taxpayer funding from carrying out Biden’s unlawful DoD abortion policy issued on October 20, 2022, which requires taxpayer funding to cover expenses related to abortion, such as travel or leave, in clear violation of historic bi-partisan norms and current law.”
Morris offers no proof that Kiley supported the proposal because it doesn’t exist, and she knows that members of the RSC are in no way bound by its proposals.
Kiley has consistently said that he supports the exceptions for rape, incest and mother’s life in danger and has never voted otherwise.
This attack is simply recycled from Kiley’s last race when his then opponent, Kermet Jones made similar claims that even the Sacramento Bee fact-checked and found to be false.
Kiley specifically refuted the false claims when he debated Jones in 2022 (at 5:00 min).
Lastly, Kiley reiterated his position in his responses to the Sacramento Bee’s candidate questionnaire this year.
Politicians like Jessica Morse resort to lying when they can’t sell voters on their actual experience, or their policy positions, or when they have no policy positions. Abortion is the one policy the left has, and their positions have gotten more and more radical and dangerous – dangerous for the mother and deadly for the infant.

Yes indeed, Ms. Grimes. Morse is a carbon copy of lying Kackala Harris; and it appears, just as incompetent.

This Jessica Morse person, a “Deputy Secretary” in the Newsom administration, appears to have Newsom et al’s fingerprints all over her candidacy, and it also appears to me they are vengeful fingerprints, given that Kevin Kiley ran against Newsom for Governor, wrote a book critical of Newsom, and has been otherwise outspokenly honest about him. These actions and statements by Kiley about Newsom have obviously resonated with Californians over recent troubled years in this state.
Kiley’s opponent Jessica Morse is another usual suspect, not one bit impressive, funded and pushed out on stage to challenge Kiley, who was not only a Republican good-guy star asset in the California assembly when he was there, but who has now also been working very hard with much success to represent Californians in the U.S. Congress in a way they would like to be represented; that is, to address the very items of most concern to them. You know, real problems, not banning plastic bags and banishing paper receipts; and all the silly stuff we’re used to here in California.
If you are a person who shows your support for key politicians by donating to their campaigns, please consider donating to Congressman Kevin Kiley (link provided by Raymond, above), this month especially, to help him combat the constant, outrageous lies of his very ethically-challenged opponent Morse and her hidden entourage of funders who inexplicably boost her with the money that makes the lying ads possible.
Banning plastic bags, not so silly when you find what all this plastic use is doing to us. Just a few quick blurbs from internet articles on the subject. You can do your own research: “microplastics – are having a significant impact on our digestive pathways, making their way from the gut and into the tissues of the kidney, liver and brain.”
“Scientists estimate that people ingest 5 grams of microplastic particles each week on average – equivalent to the weight of a credit card.”
“Microplastics range from 5 millimeters in diameter, or about the thickness of pencil lead, to 1 nanometer. Nanoplastics, which have also been found in humans, are even smaller and potentially more dangerous.” Unfortunately our vote to ban plastic bags didn’t seem to stick though, as even thicker plastic bags are now in the grocery stores and all over the place.
Kiley could explain his current position on abortion if he would agree to a debate with Jessica Morse. But, so far, he has refused to debate his opponent. I have not found information on his position on abortion on his campaign website or Facebook page. Your article highlights the 2022 debate between Kiley and Kermit Jones. As noted in the recent Sacramento Bee endorsement of Jessica Morse, Kiley has “dodged invitations to participate in Community Forums.” Abortion is certainly not the only issue in this race, but a debate could clarify their differences between the candidates. A debate would also help voters decide who is the best representative for CA-03 on other issues, like protecting our communities from wildfire.
Jessica Morse sounds like just another Democrat who is a pathological liar? Doesn’t her false ad violate at least one of the election ad bills that Newsom just signed in to law? Didn’t Jessica Morse knowingly distribute an advertisement that contains certain materially deceptive content with malice? No doubt exemptions are made for all Democrat candidates who are part of the criminal Democrat mafia?
Hey Jessica Morse: liar, liar, pants on fire!
Good point TJ — if “morally deceptive content with malice” is prohibited, all Jessica Morse ads lying about Kevin Kiley need to be pulled and her campaign should be heavily fined for having aired them.
But oh wait — she’s a California Democrat running for office. “Rules for thee, not for me” and etc.
Never mind!
Morse was running against Tom McClintock in CA04 two years ago. She claimed she was a relative of Sam Morse the inventor of the ‘Morse Code’. Sam invented or improved upon the telegraph not the code.
Alphabet is now Jessica Morse’ largest donor and was Jessica Morse’ largest campaign donor to the tune of $68,000 thru Alphabet During the McClintock election. In the 2024 race against Kiley, Alphabet donated $25,920 and is a top contributor.
Soros added Alphabet, Google’s new parents company, to his portfolio in the fourth quarter, purchasing over 65,000 shares with his stake valued at $51 million…” (Alphabet was also Hillary Clinton’s number one money supporter.)
According to Ms Morse’ LinkedIn page, she was only in her entry-level job(s) for 9 years.
Then on 5/15 she dropped out and became self-employed dog setter. During this time researched and wrote yet-to-be-published book about early American feminist lost to history because of her sexual identity. Got bored again and decided to move to Pollock Pines and rented a room just in time to register to run for the national position of representative in CA-04. She lost.
She hadn’t had a ‘real’ job since May 2015. But a couple of years ago she was appointed to California’s Natural Resources Agency as the Deputy Secretary for Forest Resource Management. Interesting she will be making $150.000+ and plus benefits for a job she wasn’t qualified for.
Now she is ridding around in a helicopter pretending to be a wildland fire expert which she isn’t even close to being.
RedState has a long editorial about Jessica Morse’s shenanigans. She’s a real wackadoddle? The deep-state coven must be supporting her?

Thanks for the link. She is now trying to pass herself as a wildland fire expert. As a 35+ firefighter I am upset (being nice). She isn’t even close. Along with the military, law enforcement, firefighters are proud of what they and yes sacrifice. When I challenged her to explain what or how a two year appointed position qualified her as an expert in fire fighting. She blocked me.
Ballotpedia mentions Morse’s ties to USAID, a well-known CIA front organization. https://ballotpedia.org/Jessica_Morse
Everything about her is fake, and I could EASILY see her being propped up by Newsom to get back at Kiley.
I campaigned for Kiley his 1st term, and donated to him then. But I’m not the only conservative person who’s very disappointed in him as a conservative candidate. I attended a recent event where candidate scorecards were shown, and Kiley didn’t score well on a number of issues on that scorecard.
There’s NO WAY I’d vote for Morse, but I’m having real issues with some of Kiley’s votes in his first term. I saw him at a townhall session recently and challenged him on his vote on a couple of common sense issues, and he dodged my question. Then I asked him about stopping the legalized lying to the American people via the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act. He didn’t know about it, so I wrote the name down for him on one of his donor card.
I’ve been tempted to follow-up on it in another townhall session elsewhere, now that he’s had time to review what it’s about.
Hah!! Kiley AND his caucus have worked continually to reduce and eliminate the rights of women to make decisions about their own bodies! He’s fought mifepristone being federally available and does indeed support a national abortion ban! You have no credibility in this editorial other than you’ve outed your “news” company as a MAGA supporter and cult curator.
