Her comment came in response to an attendee who yelled that proposed GOP cuts to Medicaid would cost lives.

    As if healthcare was only a matter of life and death… no need for pain management, quality of life, etc 🙄

    Democrats pounced on Ernst’s “going to die” line, with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin saying she “said the quiet part out loud.”

    Martin said the remark shows Republicans don’t care about “whether their own constituents live or die as long as the richest few get richer, and that’s precisely why they’re ramming through a budget bill that would rip away health care and food from millions of Americans, including kids and seniors.”

    That’s pretty much it in a nutshell

      I mean Obama also had many faults. But like I would rather Obama than any republican. Hell, he’s probably better than whatever democrats we got the last couple elections

      I can’t wait for the inevitable article about her whining that she’s getting made fun of or “taken out of context.” Bitch go practice what you preach off a cliff.

    If we are all going to die, the money doesn’t matter. Pay forfood, housing, medical care, education, and ice cream.

    258,000,000.

    They support genocide. They advocate genocide. They enact genocide.

    They know they can’t just round up and execute people. Disease, famine, political violence? People won’t unite against a government for that. Right?
