Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference where he emphasized that Congressional Democrats remain united in protecting the American people from Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill, while Rubber Stamp Republicans remain united in doing the bidding of the out-of-control Trump White House.

LEADER JEFFRIES: Breaking news. Elon Musk and I agree with each other. The GOP tax scam is a disgusting abomination. Every single Republican who voted for the One Big Ugly Bill should be ashamed of themselves. They aren’t helping their constituents. They are hurting their constituents. That’s an objectively verifiable fact.

The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination. It rips healthcare away from up to 14 million people, everyday Americans across the country. Hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down, and yes, people will die if the GOP Tax Scam ever became law. It’s a disgusting abomination. The One Big Ugly Bill would enact the largest cuts in nutritional assistance in American history. That’s also disgusting. Republicans literally want to rip food out of the mouths of children, veterans and seniors. Every single Republican who voted for this bill should be ashamed of themselves. This bill that Republicans narrowly passed, it limped out of the House of Representatives. And we’re going to work hard to make sure it dies in the Senate.

This One Big Ugly bill, the GOP Tax Scam hurts everyday Americans and rewards their billionaire donors with a massive tax break for the wealthy, the well-off and the well-connected. And to make matters worse, they will saddle our children and grandchildren with more than $5 trillion in additional debt in order to subsidize the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. Elon Musk and I agree with each other on this particular issue. The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination.
