White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has slammed the Democrats for pushing back against President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.”
Leavitt argues that the Democrats have “never been more radical and out of touch with the needs of the American people.”
On Thursday morning, Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts package was passed by the House of Representatives.
However, it only passed by a razor-thin 215-214 vote.
“Every single Democrat in the House of Representatives voted against all of these common-sense and massively popular policies,” Leavitt noted.
“The Democrat Party has never been more radical and out of touch with the needs of the American people.”
“The one big, beautiful bill is the final missing piece toward ushering in the Golden Age of America.
“The Senate should pass this as quickly as possible and send it to President Trump’s desk for a final signature.”
Leavitt hailed the legislation as “delivering the largest tax cut in American history for middle-class families, the working class, and small businesses.”
She also said it will “permanently secure the border by delivering the largest border security investment in history, funding at least 1 million annual removals of illegal aliens to carry out the largest deportation campaign ever, finishing the Trump border wall and giving pay raises and bonuses for our incredible ICE and Border Patrol agents.”
Two House Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the bill.
They were Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH).
Leavitt was asked by a reporter if Trump thinks both lawmakers should be primaried.
“I believe he does,” Leavitt responded.
“And I don’t think he likes to see grandstanders in Congress.
“‘What’s the alternative?’ I would ask those members of Congress.
“Did they want to see a tax hike?” Leavitt continued.
“Did they want to see our country go bankrupt?
“That’s the alternative by them trying to vote no.
“And the president believes the Republican Party needs to be unified,” she asserted.
“And the vast majority of Republicans clearly are, and are listening to the president.
“They are trusting in President Trump, as they should, because there’s a reason he’s sitting in this Oval Office.
“It’s because he’s the unequivocal leader of the Republican Party, not just a president for Republicans, but all Americans,” she added.
“The president’s approval rating is at an all-time high right now,” Leavitt also said.
“That’s because he knows how to deliver, and Republicans like Thomas Massie and others should take note.”
