Jeffries: ‘We Are Standing Up for Republicans’ Constituents Because Republicans Won’t Stand Up for Their Own Constituents’

TRANSCRIPT:

JEFFRIES: “Which is why we’ve been very clear — we are fighting for everyone. And the reality is, the dramatic increases in health care premiums that the American people are about to experience, some are connected to the Affordable Care Act tax subsidies and tax credits that Republicans are unwilling to renew in states like Virginia, a purple state, and states like Idaho and Georgia — these are red states. So, is your question, we shouldn’t be fighting for the people of Georgia and Idaho who are about to experience dramatically increased health care costs? Is that not a good fight for us to wage? We are standing up for Republicans’ constituents because Republicans won’t stand up for their own constituents. But this is everyone in America. Everyone in America is suffering because of the cost of living crisis caused by Donald Trump’s failed policies, and everyone in America is suffering from the Republican health care crisis.”
