Mini Timmaraju: Republicans Don’t Care About Affordability, Gutting an ACA Deal Around Their Extremism on Abortion

RUSH EXCERPT:
TIMMARAJU: "I’m glad you asked. So I think both mikey sherrill and Abigail Spanberger did a brilliant job of this. You know, you can actually use the Republicans preoccupation with issues like abortion right now. They’re about to gut an aca deal around their extremism on abortion as an example of how they don’t care about affordability. Right. So you can talk about affordability. This is the primary issue. I also support your fundamental freedoms, but my opponent cares so little about affordability that they’re willing to tank health care and the affordability of your health care on the back of an ideological fight that would gut your freedoms. So it’s actually part of a larger conversation with voters about how out of touch Republicans are and Donald Trump and his administration are. And I wanted to make a note about Trump and his approval ratings. We’ve known all along that where voters are with Trump, Republicans in Congress do not share the same cover that Trump does around these issues. So what’s happening right now in Congress, around the aca and around affordability overall is going to be really, really damaging. And I think it’s also why you’re seeing so many defections."
