Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) melted down after the House of Representatives passed President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on Thursday.
The House of Representatives passed the reconciliation bill 218-214 on Thursday after a night of drama with several GOP holdouts. Two Republican lawmakers – Massie and Fitzpatrick – voted ‘no.’
The Big Beautiful Bill included:
- Tax cuts – no tax on tips
- Cuts to SNAP (food stamps) and work requirements
- Border spending: ICE and Border Patrol will be flooded with billions of dollars. More than $45 billion will be allocated to the border wall.
AOC was on the verge of tears as she told the press that this is the ‘saddest day in modern American history.’
“I think this is one of the saddest days in modern American history,” AOC said.
“17 million Americans in our country are going to lose their Medicaid. They’re gonna lose their ACA insurance. Small business owners are going to have their health care costs skyrocket. And people are gonna have their SNAP cut back,” she said.
“People are gonna go hungry. People are gonna get sick,” AOC added.
