Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounced President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill as a “scam” and a “deal with the devil” in a fiery speech Wednesday on the House floor.
As the sprawling bill inches toward passage, Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump of lying about the measure that cuts Medicaid and food stamps for the poor while slashing taxes on tips and providing big breaks for the wealthy and large corporations.
“It doesn’t take a smart person to know if you are being lied to,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens, Bronx) said. “President Trump, you’re either being lied to or you are lying to the American people.”
The progressive firebrand drew cheers from fellow Democrats as she accused GOP lawmakers of engineering “the largest and greatest loss of health care in American history.” She said 17 million would lose coverage due to the bill’s harsh cuts, although nonpartisan watchdog groups have put the number at 11 million.
Ocasio-Cortez, a former waitress, called Trump ‘s move to end the tax on tips “a scam” and pointed out that the Senate imposed a $25,000 cap on the benefit, which she predicted would be canceled out by cuts in health care and SNAP food assistance.
“You do the math.” she said. “Is that worth it to you?”

Dealing with the devil, are ye?
Occasional Kotex would certainly know how to do that!!!!
Time to change it, Sandy...it stinks.
Stay away from the tip jar also.
Hmmm, Rand Paul and Massie agree with her? Hmmmm.
Orange Man bad rant.
AOC should go live with Rosie O’Donnell
“You do the math.” she said.
“Math is HARD!” Brooklyn Barbie

Glenn Beck went into this one. If you are able-bodied and within working age they are adding a requirement that you ascertain why you are unemployed and state your efforts to get employment before you can get Medicaid benefits. At least that’s what I understood.
The left is saying many won’t bother with this and thus lose Medicaid benefits. It is a reasonable requirement and a surprise to me that this was not already in place.
The dems are flat out lying on this.
AOC is very backwards
Una Mas cerveza, por favor, bitch.
More Dem projecting.
Here’s my challenge to AOC and all of the other socialist spoiled brats: try spending a few years in one of those socialist nations and see how much you like having no freedom.
As usual.
Obviously.
If the demons rats are against it it must be a good bill for Americans
