Oh, no! Was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) kidnapped by “Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police?” As a result of in relation to Republicans’ views on well being care, Marge has gone chilly.
A lot in order that amid a authorities shutdown — wherein the primary crux of the problem is that Democrats need to lengthen well being care premium subsidies for a lot of Inexpensive Care Act recipients and Republicans don’t — the Georgia lawmaker may be very vocally siding with the left.

Earlier this week, Greene stated she is “absolutely disgusted” with potential well being care price hikes. And on Thursday, Greene went on CNN and stated her constituents have been “telling us stories about how they’re already paying $2,000 a month with $10,000 deductibles. I’m getting phone calls from people that are saying, if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren’t going to be able to have health insurance.”
Greene is peddling the left’s messaging so properly that even one Democratic senator needed to admit that she’s doing a greater job at it than some Democrats.
On Thursday’s version of CNN’s “The Source,” host Kaitlan Collins interviewed Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and performed a snippet of Greene’s look on the community.
Collins then famous a latest tweet printed by messaging strategist John Anzalone about Greene.
“Wow. When MTG does economic messaging better than Democrats we should take notice,” Anzalone wrote Thursday.
Collins then determined to ask that exact same query of Gallego.
“Is she doing messaging better than the Democrats are on this issue?” Collins requested.
“Well, she’s not doing better than me, but she’s definitely doing it better than a lot of Democrats,” Gallego responded, although he didn’t title names. “Marjorie Taylor Greene is right right now. The Republican Party is absolutely, you know, essentially screwing their voters and a lot of their voter base.”
Not all Dems are failing on speaking how dire the problem is — regardless of one very unlucky cat-themed explainer put out by the Democratic Celebration.
Final week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) acquired fairly fiery whereas talking to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes about rumors that Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) shut down the federal government to appease extra progressive individuals within the social gathering, like her.
“Well if that’s the case,” Ocasio-Cortez stated firmly into the digital camera, referring to a few of her Republican colleagues, “my office is open, and you are free to walk in and negotiate with me directly.”
“Because what I’m not going to do,” Ocasio-Cortez continued as Hayes giggled beside her, “is tolerate 4 million uninsured Americans because Donald Trump decided one day that he wants to just make sure kids are dying because they don’t have access to insurance.”
