Matt Drudge: GOP Congress 'Lied About Wanting Tax Cuts'
Washington Examiner ^ | Eddie Scarry (@eScarry) • 3/14/17 10:48 AM | Eddie Scarry (@eScarry)

Matt Drudge, editor and founder of the influential Drudge Report, attacked congressional Republicans Tuesday over what he apparently sees as their decision to abandon their pledge to cut taxes.

On social media Tuesday morning, Drudge accused the GOP of lying about their promise on tax reform.

"[By the way], Republicans lied about wanting tax cuts," Drudge wrote on Twitter. "Can we get our votes back?"

Drudge, a staunch supporter of President Trump, appeared to be referring to the lack of movement on legislation to reform the tax code, which Republicans have said would result in lower marginal rates. However, the new Republican bill to reform Obamacare would cut out billions of dollars worth of taxes on the wealthy.

Republican leaders have in the past said tax reform will happen this year but have not set a definite schedule for it.

Drudge also said the National Weather Service has "lots of misses piling up" after its latest forecast related to Winter Storm Stella, and argued the forecasts are being exaggerated by "climate hysterics."

"Trump should clear out climate hysterics from NWS," he tweeted. "All storms grossly exaggerated."

The GOP Congress was always going to be the major blocking point for MAGA. Cucks to the core for far too many of them.

Draining the swap usually implies cleaning out the entrenched bureaucracy within the executive branch.

But it also helps when the President shows us that so many “conservative” Republicans just want government to get bigger and bigger and bigger. They’re just Democrats.

We deserve better.

Well we tried that, remember ?

But Ryan's a good sconnie boy, and they love when a local boy makes good.

Sorry to say, but Ryan ain't going anywhere.

Trump should tell every GOP opposition he will hold rallies in each of their districts against them. Run them out.

Trump doesn’t need to hold a rally.

People in those districts need to stop acting like morons and stop voting for these people.

I have no idea why the GOP Congress is dragging its feet on practically everything we fought for and everything they said they stood for.

Do they not understand people are hurting? Take the tax code, put it in front of the Capitol, douse it with gasoline, and light a match already.

Remember: "Donald Trump is not a REAL conservative."

That's what all the "conservatives" in the Republican Party told us over and over and over and over. The ****-for-brains GOP keeps going like it is it, and the Trump Presidency, will be DOA by the Mid-Terms.
