Chris Matthews on ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’: Trump Wanted To Give Tax Cuts to the Rich, and He Did It with Medicaid

EXCERPT:

MATTHEWS: “I'm telling you, one thing Trump has always promised that he's not going to cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and he's done it. It's in this bill. So it was so hard to get this thing wrapped up. Johnson said, I finally got it by one vote. And now Elon Musk has come out with a sledgehammer and is attacking it. It's already weak. I'm telling you, it's like in a crime. You look for the opportunity. You look for the motive. Trump wanted to give tax cuts to the rich and he did it with Medicaid. And any Democrat that cannot run on that, whether it's Bucks County or Scranton or anywhere in the country, you can run it on that issue and say they took away your Medicaid and they gave it to the rich people. They did it because that's who they are.”
