During a discussion on Wednesday's The Source with Kaitlan Collins, GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson sparred with Collins over the budget resolution which just passed in the House this Tuesday, which lays the framework for massive cuts to our social safety nets while boosting defense spending and extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
Johnson, of course, tried to lie that the bill they passed wasn't going to slash Medicaid funding, even though, as Collins repeatedly tried to point out, they aren't going to ever get to the numbers they're giving without doing exactly that.
Collins asked Johnson about the blowback Trump and Musk and their Republican enablers have been getting at these town halls, where angry constituents have been turning out to give them a piece of their minds over what's been happening with the DOGE slash and burn mayhem, and Johnson blew it off as just a bunch of "paid protesters" or Democrats showing up early.
