House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries picked the home state of the top two House Republicans to kick off a national tour slamming the recently passed reconciliation package Thursday.
Jeffries was joined on stage by Louisiana Rep. Troy Carter, a Democrat who hosted the town hall in New Orleans. Steering and Policy Committee co-chairs Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Robin Kelly, and Nanette Barragán were also on stage to help bash President Donald Trump’s signature domestic legislation and urge voters to help spread the word about the disastrous effects they said it would have.
“One of the takeaways as you all communicate with your friends, family, neighbors, is this is the largest cut to health care in American history,” Jeffries said. “On top of the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. They are literally ripping food from the mouths of children, veterans and seniors. It’s outrageous.”
