Jen Psaki Exposes Lindsey Graham And His Fake CBO Score In Front Of The Entire Country
Jen Psaki called out hypocrite Lindsey Graham and said that Build Back Better actually pays for the Trump tax cuts that Graham supported.
Link to tweet
Psaki said when asked about Sen. Grahams fake CBO score:
I would also note that there is a particular irony here. That shouldnt be lost on Senator Graham. Maybe it is lost on Sen. Graham? I dont know. That the plan that they proposed, and passed into law, the 2017 tax cuts, were $2 trillion were not paid for in any way shape or form and that didnt seem to upset them at all. And I what I will say, and they can thank us in any way they would like for this, our projections, and the projections of our economists is for our plan as it continues in the second decade it would reduce the deficit by $2 trillion, so were covering their irresponsible tax cuts to corporations and high wealth individuals.
Jen Psaki took apart the hypocrisy of Lindsey Graham being concerned about adding to the deficit for programs that will lower the cost of prescription drugs, provide universal pre-k, and actually help people while being fine with blowing a two trillion dollar hole in the deficit to give rich people and corporations a big pile of money.
The Fox News crowd and Republicans will take the Graham sham seriously, but for everyone else, it is just another moment of Republican hypocrisy that reaffirms the point that the GOP is for the rich and not for thee.

Stick em everywhere you can, ATMs are a good place,
You're on your own for the messaging, but, "Republicans are going to cut your Medicare in 2022" is a good start.
or
"More jobs have been created by Democratic presidents than 4 previous republicans. Why would you vote for jof killers?
I know, they're weak but they are earworms.

(7,231 posts)What Republicans are great at, and Democrats are DEFINITELY HORRIBLE!
I agree on the messaging .. every democratic running for, or holds office should be on major tv saying this and other things, but I hear nothing from any of them, until after a shitty comment is made. They try to back it down, but its like the old saying . Closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.

She's the Best Press Secretary I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Since I don't have cable, access to her press briefings have been spotty, but plenty of them are posted here, for which I am so grateful.

I wish I could find speaker Pelosi take down of that dunce from South Carolina.

(6,849 posts)Such a fatuous charade of a personality. That such a creature as he is allowed near a podium, let alone a microphone, is testament to the lowness of media standards we're obliged to tolerate. Ain't it a hoot? Over the decades I've been watching these "senatorialists" there are some that took the cake and refused to share. Brings to mind the gadfly and serial boutique escapee from Utah, Orrrrrin Hatch or the flat faced foundling from Mississippi, Trent Lott and let us not forget the recently deceased, yet still plainspoken plainsman Bob Dole of Kansasian pontifications and his side-kick Big John McCain, the maverick man, with honorable mention for Little Joey Lieberman who played both sides with equal obfuscation and self-aggrandizement (shiniest halo in Massachusetts). All served their masters well during their time in service. But, devil his due, it's still gonna take an effort on somebody's part (if there is a future) to beat ole "on his knees-quick as you please" Lindsey. I can see the epitaph on his memorial (hats off, if you will, boys), "Nobody lied like Lindsey". Brings a tear, don't it?
