While most of the attention on Capitol Hill Thursday was focused on former FBI Director James Comeys Senate Intel testimony, Health and Human Service Secretary Tom Price was also appearing in front of the Senate Finance Committee, an opportunity Dems used to bash Senate Republicans for their Obamacare repeal efforts.
Democrats are now touting this exchange prompted by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), in which she confronts Finance Chair Chair Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who is playing a key role in the writing of the Senate bill, over the lack of public hearings planned for the legislation.
We have no idea whats being proposed. Theres a group of guys in a back room somewhere that are making decisions, McCaskill said.
Awkwardly, Hatch appears thrown off by McCaskills questions, and an aide rushes to his side to feed him talking points, which are caught by his mic.
