Chuck Schumer Melts Down Over Trump Budget Bill: “We’re All Going to Die!”
Chuck Schumer is sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ warning that if it passes, “we’re all going to die.”
Schumer renamed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” the “We’re All Going to Die Act,” slamming the package over proposed cuts to Medicaid.
The Senate Minority Leader also said that Republicans supporting the budget bill are “tenured at best, suicidal at worst.”
Schumer claimed that voting for the legislative package would have serious consequences at the ballot box.
“For many Americans, health care coverage is the difference between life and death,” Schumer said.
Schumer’s new name for Trump’s budget bill appears to stem from a recent remark by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who responded to criticism over proposed cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by saying, “Well, we’re all going to die.”
Schumer continued:
“Why are they being so mean? Why are they being so cruel?”
“And why are they being so politically tenured at best, suicidal at worst?”
“All to give tax breaks to billionaires. They are in total obeisance.”
“Donald Trump is, and his colleagues are, to a very, very small group of very wealthy, greedy people who say, ‘I don’t care what you do to everyone else, cut my taxes.’”
“And by the way, get rid of any regulations.”
