THREAD: Jason Lewis has made one thing clear: all he wants to do is go back to Washington and push an uncompromising partisan agenda – even if it means supporting policies that hurt Minnesota families. #MNSEN

In a recent interview, Lewis was asked if there was anything President Trump has done that he does not support or endorse. Lewis responded by saying, “Well, good policy is good politics. And I agree with his policies, so why would I oppose anything?”

When asked a second time if he disagrees with ANY Trump policies, Lewis said “I’m not going to psychoanalyze everything everybody’s said, everybody’s different. But again, good policy makes good politics and I agree with the policies.”
Translation: no.
Over the last three years, Trump and Republicans have pursued policies and taken actions that would hurt Minnesotans, such as trying to eliminate protections for people with pre-existing conditions -- both legislatively and in court.

Trump and his team also proposed cuts programs like Medicare and Medicaid. In fact, Lewis recently rushed to embrace cuts to Social Security and Medicaid less than 24 hours after Trump announced plans to “look at” cuts to those programs. nytimes.com/2020/01/22/us/…
Minnesotans don’t want a Senator like Jason Lewis who is going to try and take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions or cut critical programs like Social Security and Medicare.

We deserve a Senator who is going to always put the people of Minnesota first and who will work across parties to get things done – and that’s Senator Tina Smith.
