Hello, are you awake?
Senate Republican declares, ‘Kill Obamacare now,’ sends signal to health care voters
House Speaker Mike Johnson raised a few eyebrows this week, targeting the Affordable Care Act in ways most congressional Republicans tend to avoid. At a campaign event in Pennsylvania on Monday, the Louisiana congressman told a crowd there would be “massive” health care changes in the United States if Donald Trump returns to power. “Health care reform’s going to be a big part of the agenda,” the GOP leader added.
The House speaker has since claimed that he was taken out of context, but a video from the event doesn’t do him any favors. When an attendee asked at the event, “No Obamacare?” Congress’ top Republican leader replied, “No Obamacare.”
One far-right lawmaker on Capitol Hill was apparently pleased with the rhetoric. USA Today reported:
Other Republicans have continued pushing to end the health care legislation. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, reposted Johnson’s comments on Thursday and wrote: “Kill Obamacare now.”
That's Mike Lee who worked at the same law firm as JD's wife, and earlier, Michelle Obama. It attracts high profile people, even healthcare bastards. Like Mike.
If you have not already voted for a better, saner, more compassionate America, please do so. Not that Harris has committed to universal healthcare, but that she will not rock the admittedly imperfect boat - Romneycare - formulated initially by Heritage Foundation in an earlier incarnation before Kevin Roberts' Heritage coup to the far, far, right Dark Side. (It being back then dark enough already.)
Obama saw that the reality facing him then was that the best he could get is what the Republicans said they wanted. When he gave it to them they freaked and are still freaking over it, failing to admit it was their own insincerely boosted thing, witness Sen. Lee freaking out over it.
Roberts deviled up the already sick far right Heritage beast to where the thing gave birth to Project 2025, the clear devil's spawn. Of which Roberts takes pride.
If you want a sincere Republican, good luck finding one. It's not Trump. He's a sick grifter-pirate who lies more often than he needs to - because he likes lying and taking fools for a buggy ride. Crypto candidate and such. Sneaker salesman.
