Dem Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut appeared on CNN over the weekend to talk about the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ which contains the Trump tax cuts and did nothing but push left wing talking points.
He shrieked about people being pushed off of their healthcare and said that the bill will only benefit the super rich.
This is all they have. Democrats do not want this bill to pass. They do not want the middle class to benefit under the Trump presidency in any way and it’s all for political reasons. They are putting their ambitions ahead of the American people.

BASH: Welcome back to STATE OF THE UNION.
Democrats are promising a fight over President Trump’s agenda. What will that actually look like?
Here with me now is Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Thank you for being here, sir.
You just heard my conversation with the White House budget director, Russ Vought, about the president’s tax and spending bill in front of the Senate, which is something you’re going to be dealing with this coming week. What is your response?
MURPHY: Well, this Republican budget bill is an absolute disaster for the country, in particular for middle-class and poor people, because it kicks 15 million people, working Americans mainly, off of their health care…
And for what? In order to finance a tax cut, the majority of which is going to corporations and billionaires. A trillion dollars of that tax cut goes to the richest 1 percent. It also adds enormously to the deficit.
And I heard him try to claim that that’s not true. It’s just unreal the amount of gaslighting this administration is doing. I mean, it is a fact. The difference between passing this bill and not passing this bill is the addition of $3 trillion to the national debt. And that’s not me saying that.
That’s the credit rating agencies that impact our entire economy. Moody’s just downgraded the United States’ credit. They didn’t do that under Joe Biden. They did that under Donald Trump because they look at this bill. They look at the attack on the middle class and the diminution and spending power that will come with it for the middle class and the deficits.
And they say that, if implemented, this bill is going to make the American economy much weaker. So, this bill is what it is. It is just an attempt to enrich Donald Trump’s billionaire class, all his Mar-a- Lago friends, his corporate friends, at the expense of ordinary Americans. And they should just tell the truth about it.
Here’s the video:
The Republican budget is the biggest transfer of wealth from the middle class and poor to the super wealthy in the history of the country. Throwing 15 millions Americans off their health care is a death sentence. And for what? Padding the pockets of Trump’s billionaire friends? pic.twitter.com/bh09bWoiMb

He’s such a liar.
The One Big Beautiful Bill is the largest middle class tax cut in the history of our country.
Why are you so opposed to hardworking Americans keeping more of their money? https://t.co/fJsUFAhbxv

Maybe Democrats would support the bill if it had more benefits for illegal aliens. That seems to be who their party really cares about.
