Klobuchar: ‘Very Disappointed’ at Lisa Murkowski, ‘Putting it Mildly’

PSAKI Let me ask ░░░░░░░░ I mean it seems ░░░░░░░░ a year ago although ░░░░░░░░ was just a couple ░░░░░░░░ days ago that this ░░░░░░░░ passed the Senate and ░░░░░░░░ colleague Senator Lisa Murkowski ░░░░░░░░ I know you ve ░░░░░░░░ with on a range ░░░░░░░░ things but ended up ░░░░░░░░ the deciding vote for ░░░░░░░░ in the Senate after ░░░░░░░░ seemed to extract concessions ░░░░░░░░ for her state How ░░░░░░░░ were you when she ░░░░░░░░ that What do you ░░░░░░░░ of it Klobuchar I ░░░░░░░░ very disappointed in that ░░░░░░░░ it mildly I think ░░░░░░░░ people that are really ░░░░░░░░ to be disappointed are ░░░░░░░░ veterans as we go ░░░░░░░░ 4th of July tomorrow ░░░░░░░░ re going to have ░░░░░░░░ SNAP benefits either eliminated ░░░░░░░░ reduced I think the ░░░░░░░░ that are going to ░░░░░░░░ really upset are the ░░░░░░░░ who are going to ░░░░░░░░ thrown off their health ░░░░░░░░ That s 17 million ░░░░░░░░ And the worst of ░░░░░░░░ whole thing is that ░░░░░░░░ number of the changes ░░░░░░░░ were made to help ░░░░░░░░ actually dragged in a ░░░░░░░░ bunch of bad stuff ░░░░░░░░ my favorite example is ░░░░░░░░ SNAP It s 200 ░░░░░░░░ in cuts for food ░░░░░░░░ And as Torres just ░░░░░░░░ Congressman Torres the majority ░░░░░░░░ these people seniors people ░░░░░░░░ disabilities veterans kids well ░░░░░░░░ is going to really ░░░░░░░░ in rural And one ░░░░░░░░ the things they did ░░░░░░░░ help Alaska was say ░░░░░░░░ states with the highest ░░░░░░░░ rates with SNAP because ░░░░░░░░ is the highest and ░░░░░░░░ couldn t get that ░░░░░░░░ the parliamentarian to just ░░░░░░░░ out Alaska They tried ░░░░░░░░ and Hawaii they tried ░░░░░░░░ and D C and ░░░░░░░░ finally ended up with ░░░░░░░░ 10 states with the ░░░░░░░░ error rates And those ░░░░░░░░ get one to two ░░░░░░░░ off of having any ░░░░░░░░ these cost shift cuts ░░░░░░░░ favorite example and there ░░░░░░░░ many is that Florida ░░░░░░░░ has a high error ░░░░░░░░ could avoid for two ░░░░░░░░ paying a billion a ░░░░░░░░ in their cost shifts ░░░░░░░░ Texas that has a ░░░░░░░░ error rate will pay ░░░░░░░░ million each year Jen ░░░░░░░░ can t make this ░░░░░░░░ But it was all ░░░░░░░░ reeling in Alaska and ░░░░░░░░ s what they did ░░░░░░░░ you see a number ░░░░░░░░ just completely crazy things ░░░░░░░░ want to get rid ░░░░░░░░ waste fraud and abuse ░░░░░░░░ re actually encouraging it ░░░░░░░░ if I m a ░░░░░░░░ in a state I ░░░░░░░░ like Get my error ░░░░░░░░ up because it could ░░░░░░░░ me 1 billion a ░░░░░░░░ on a state budget ░░░░░░░░ you already have 44 ░░░░░░░░ that have they have ░░░░░░░░ budget amendments and the ░░░░░░░░ PSAKI It s hard ░░░░░░░░ make sense of is ░░░░░░░░ way to describe it.”
