Democrats slam McConnell over ‘they’ll get over it’ quip on Medicaid cuts

[g5000]

The issue here is that the "able bodied American on Medicare is largely mythical

Is there fraud? Of course, but in vanishingly small amounts. They will snare folks who genuinely need care in their slimy hands and kill them through lack of care.

See post 17.

I thought they were just going to cut illegal aliens and fraud, which is plentiful.

You believed thst?

The typical voter will get over it, as soon as enough time has passed for them to realize that the Medicaid cuts are cutting fraud waste and abuse in an incredibly expensive welfare program, and are not doing anything to their Medicare.

McConnell needs to retire, but he said nothing wrong there.

 

[Winco]

McConnell is a turncoat tool, he's probably just trying to sabotage Republicans, again.

According to the cult, all (R) are turncoats unless they kiss trumps ass.

You believed thst?

No one believed that. MAGA equals **** the Poorz
. Then they realize they are the poorz.

 

[Doc7505]

I thought McConnell retired.

~~~~~~
He's on his way out. Senate politicians are taking odds on whether he'll die in the Senate before he completely retires.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Most Republicans are scum.

You don't 'get over' losing access to affordable health care.

You do if you’re illegal or don’t deserve it.

msnbc......that helps explain your Trumpmentia.....

Democrats slam McConnell over ‘they’ll get over it’ quip on Medicaid cuts

If you thought Joni Ernst’s “we are all going to die” comments were a problem, the former Senate majority leader made the problem worse.

www.msnbc.com

As the Senate moves forward with plans to vote on the party’s domestic policy megabill — the inaptly named One Big Beautiful Bill Act — there are a handful of GOP members who haven’t said yet how they intend to vote on the legislation. Take Sen. Thom Tillis, for example.

As NBC News reported, the North Carolina Republican this week circulated a document to his GOP colleagues during a closed-door meeting “outlining how the Medicaid provisions in their sweeping domestic policy bill could hurt states, particularly red ones.” Tillis’ concerns are rooted in reality: His party’s proposed reconciliation package intends to impose brutal cuts to the Medicaid program, and GOP strongholds are among the states poised to suffer most.

At the same intraparty meeting, according to Punchbowl News, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the former Republican leader, gave a short speech saying “failure is not an option” on the bill, before reportedly adding, “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.”

This is typical of repubs. "But they'll get over it." is reminiscent of Ernst comment, "We all are going to die." The repub party has become a heartless servant of the rich and affluent. They have lost the ability to feel the pain and anxiousness of regular Americans. They are doing their work for the wealthy, making sure there will be money for a tax cut for the affluent. Even if their own constituents are hurt, they must serve their wealthy donors.

When this A-hole actually retires...I hope they pull a Game of Thrones on him...walk him out of the Capitol..."Shame...Shame...Shame".

Talk about a useless sack of crap. That's Mitch. Product of gerrymandering.

He is the reason the GOP has a super majority on the USSC. He robbed Obama of a justice pick. I really think they the repubs will soon become so obviously evil that the even maga voters will turn on them.

The Big Beautiful Bill is going to cause havoc with those depending on Medicaid, especially in red states. The repubs are evil.

Your picking on an old man that is on his way out... McConnell is retiring, he got no dog in this hunt.

This is what happens when Republicans support well known RINO's like Trump, Johnson, Thune, McConnell. etc etc

And the fiscal conservatives like Massie get the blame for it all.

It'll be fun when loads of staunch Republicans either don't vote, or vote Democrat because of this
