CNN anchor Chris Cuomo got in a heated dispute, Friday, with Congressman Jim Jordan over Donald Trump ending ObamaCare subsidies. After asking Jordan for his opinion, Cuomo demanded a more liberal answer: “Jim, why aren't you saying the President is acting like an emperor? And his job is to execute laws that are passed, not write his own and Congress must hold him into account for doing so.”
This is rich coming from Cuomo as he previously slammed Trump for ending Obama's DACA action even though it was “legally dubious.” Later in the segment, the Republican schooled Cuomo on ObamaCare: “Everything that the Democrats told us about this law has turned out to be false.”
A wounded Cuomo responded, “That’s not true.” This exchange followed:
REP. JIM JORDAN: Yes, it is! If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
CHRIS CUOMO: That’s true. That’s fair criticism. But not everything is untrue.
JORDAN: Nine different lies they told us. And we know they were lies because the architect of ObamaCare, Jonathan Gruber, who the New York Times called the architect of this law, was caught on videotape saying, “Yeah, we misled the American people. We told them things that weren’t accurate. We pulled one over." The architect told us they lied to us. "Like your plan, keep your plan." "Like your doctor, keep your doctor." "Premiums will decline." "Deductibles will go down." The President of the United States President Obama, President Obama told us premiums would decline, on average, $2500. Now, how has that worked out for American families?

Jordan does a great job.
Obamacare is based on a lie, a hoax - Grubered.
So why does anyone want to try to “fix” it?
It is a lie, a hoax. Don’t fix it, don’t fix a lie, a hoax. Just throw it away.
Everything President Trump did today was WRITTEN INTO THE OBAMACARE LAW BY THE DEMOCRATS.
They didn’t even read it.......................
I think Pelosi said it best :” in order to find out what’s in it, we have to pass it.”
Bwahahahaha
Poor Fredo.
I guess I’m waiting to see how the guardian of obamacare, chief justice Roberts, rules on a court challenge since he was such a disappointment the last time he wrote a convoluted opinion.
It's a political cash cow.
Dictatorial power over the people, if you control someone's health care you have the power of life or dearh over them. Remember "Send them home and give them a pill"?. They give spies "special" pills.
That's right -- repeal it now.
We were fed "repeal and replace". But the truth is: "repeal OR replace." The Republican plans that were floated didn't really repeal it. They wanted to replace it with more of the same federal interference in our private choices.
Obamacare is not an authorized function of the general government. If lawmakers want to appeal to the "commerce clause" to justify what they are doing, then they need to make health insurance "regular" across the country, not create a jury rigged patchwork of health-insurance strictures favorable/profitable to health-insurance providers. I hate the cronyism/fascism.
The entire Cuomo family is just plain stupid.
It’s not good to get in a battle of wits, Fredo, when you’re unarmed.
ping!
