JUST NOW: I asked @senatemajldr if he’d acknowledge that tariffs are taxes paid by American consumers (a yes or no question).
He declined to do so.
He declined to do so.
@senatemajldr LATER: @SenSchumer on why he thought @realDonaldTrump / @senatemajldr wouldn't admit that Americans -- not China -- pay tariffs: "I don't know."
AFTER THAT: @ChrisMurphyCT on @realDonaldTrump claiming China pays tariffs: "He's lying -- he's intentionally lying. He knows what tariffs are, he knows that consumers pay them, and he's trying to pull one over on the American public."
"He's been briefed on this, there's no way he says this over & over again because no one has come into the Oval Office and explained how tariffs actually work. I am confident he knows how tariffs work and I am confident he is deliberately lying to the American people about this."
