Claire McCaskill: Trumps Biggest Issue is a 'Death Struggle With the Truth'
by Jon Levine | 10:02 am, March 1st, 2017
As official Washington continues to parse and dissect the meaning of President Donald Trump‘s Tuesday night’s speech to a joint session of Congress, Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) closed out — The Morning Joe After — with their takes on what it all meant.
“There is a low bar here,” said McCaskill bluntly noting that Trump’s sustained coherency was above most pundits’ expectations. McCaskill, however, spoke approvingly of Trump’s proposed ideas for paid family leave and federal infrastructure projects.
Still, the conservative Missouri Democrat hammered the President citing what she called his, “death struggle with the truth,” adding later that he had “told countless lies to the American people.”
Both McCaskill and Manchin decried the lack of a viable Republican alternative for the Affordable Care Act and pleaded on-air for reforming the current law rather than an outright repeal. McCaskill said current Republican plans were “a pretzel that is not going to twist.”
