Do you hear “Hail to the Chief” in the background, too?

Mr. Vice President, how dare you disrespect Senator Alex Padilla like that? You serve with him in the Senate right now. You know him.

The #MAGAMurderBill will close 35 hospitals across rural Kentucky, while kicking nearly 1/2 a million of our friends and neighbors off their healthcare. Thanks to your DECIDING vote, Garland (Andy) Hale Barr IV.

YouTube video by Progress Kentucky Hey Kentucky!!! Ain't NOTHING "beautiful" about these healthcare cuts! #ColonelsOfTruth

Congress isn't standing up to Trump's MAGA agenda, they're actually making it worse. There's nothing beautiful about these healthcare cuts for our commonwealth. Blame Garland (Andy) Hale Barr IV, Hal Rogers, Jamie Comer and Brett Guthrie www.youtube.com/shorts/NZ5Oq...
