Congressmember Yvette Clarke criticized her Republican colleagues for passing a significant healthcare cut, describing it as the largest in history. She condemned the bill as an assault on vulnerable groups, including children, veterans, and the disabled, labeling it the 'Big Ugly Bill.' Clarke expressed dismay at the Republicans' willingness to undermine their principles out of fear of President Trump, calling their actions 'shameful.' She warned that this reflects a concerning trend towards diminishing Congress's relevance as a co-equal branch of government.
While the American people slept, Republicans passed the largest cut to healthcare in our nation's history. Their Big Ugly Bill is an attack on their own constituents, it is an attack on children, veterans, the disabled, and our most vulnerable.
To see so many of them defy their own principles and on-the-record positions just to avoid the wrath of one man is simply shameful.
Truly, it is terrifying to witness just how willing House Republicans are to partake in the planned obsolescence of Congress as a co-equal branch of government.
