Tim Miller and Sam Stein break down the Senate’s rush to jam through cuts to Medicaid, Mitch McConnell’s brutal quote, and why Republicans keep targeting their own voters.
Yeah, they'll "get over it" because like my senator Joni said, "We're all gonna die." These people are unbelievable. They should have to go without health care coverage.
McConnell has done nothing for Kentucky, except to cozy up to the wealthy "horsey-set" while many still live in shacks in the hills. He's a Machiavellian game player that put party and power over country. If not for the great tax-payer funded health care he has, we would have forgotten about him long ago.
So what can we say about Mitch McConnel? In Obama's first term he said his goal is to make him a one term Presiden. Get over it
In Obama's second term he said he will stop ACA. John McCain (the last true statesman of the Republican Party) said fuck you Mitch. Get over it. Then Mitch held up the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland and told us to get over it. Then he push to pass the first installment of the massive bailout of the wealthy and said get over it. Now comes the time for him to impeach the man who attempted a couple d'etat but he deflects it to the Supreme Court that he help pack for the same man. Get over it. It will be only fitting that his legacy is as the heir apparent to Benedict Arnold as the epitome of a traitor to America. Fuck you Mitch! GET OVER IT!
They need to make our citizens so poor, that they will take the jobs that all the deported people were doing. Think of Grapes of Wrath. They want to make America great for the rich and a Hunger Games dust bowl for everyone else.
Some red states never allowed Medicaid expansion in the ACA (Obamacare) so many never got health insurance. They still went for 47. Are they too uninformed to know what’s going on??
I don't get why anyone is shocked by this. McConnell's remark is the standard Republican boilerplate attitude towards the poor and struggling working class people since the late 1970s. If the Bulwark staff are mostly disaffected former Republicans, are they just now waking up to the fact that the Republican party has been staunchly hostile to working class and working poor people's needs for the past 45+ years?
In the end, Trump and even old-school(ish) party fixtures like McConnell care about their rich donors and other elite power brokers.
They don’t now, never did, and never will care about the “little people,” like those millions about to lose health insurance. Let them squawk, they say. “They’ll get over it,” especially when they die a premature death while buried under unpayable medical bills.
We will all die, and God will provide afterwards. Get over it and be happy.
Thank you Republicans.
And by the way, why don’t they cut out all pensions for lawmakers if they want to cut waste. Most of them become very wealthy in office, and I am only aware of one story of a lawmaker becoming homeless. Maybe from Oregon?
Tillis has "concerns." Stop the presses.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALL THEIR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AGAIN & AGAIN!!!!
He waddled because he had Polio as a child.

Fuck Bitch McConnell.

We're all gonna die - and that's when they'll get over it!
I don't get why anyone is shocked by this. McConnell's remark is the standard Republican boilerplate attitude towards the poor and struggling working class people since the late 1970s. If the Bulwark staff are mostly disaffected former Republicans, are they just now waking up to the fact that the Republican party has been staunchly hostile to working class and working poor people's needs for the past 45+ years?
yes but they don't say it so blatantly and so out loud.
In the end, Trump and even old-school(ish) party fixtures like McConnell care about their rich donors and other elite power brokers.

They don’t care if we die are deported or drafted or anything. As long as they make the big bucks.

They'll get over it...when they die.
