Democratic Lawmaker on GOP Colleagues: “What’s Wrong With You People?”
During a House floor debate, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) strongly criticized Republican colleagues for their support of President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” particularly highlighting its proposed cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. McGovern emphasized the bill’s tax breaks for specific interests, such as gun silencers, while simultaneously reducing aid for vulnerable families. Democrats, led by McGovern, attempted to amend the bill to protect essential programs, but were blocked by the House Rules Committee Chair, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.). McGovern also noted the lack of Republican support on the floor for the bill.
