1/ The House passed the devastating Tax Cuts & Jobs Act today. Starve the Beast? More like starve the poor and vulnerable. Thread. #winwithflynn #brianflynn #ny19 #taxbill
2/ As if that wasn't bad enough, Republicans are already planning to pay for their $1.5 trillion tax bill by making cuts next year to vital safety net programs the most vulnerable in our district rely on such as Social Security, Medicare, welfare and food stamps.
3/ So who in the GOP is going to step up and go to bat for America’s most vulnerable? Who will put country over party? If you’re betting on @repjohnfaso think again.
4/ @repjohnfaso has voted with the Trump-Ryan-McConnell far right agenda at a rate of nearly 90%, including repealing and replacing the ACA. His eventual “no” vote on the tax bill came only after @SpeakerRyan publicly declared he had enough support to pass it.
5/ That's not leadership. That's betrayal. And his constituents are the ones who will pay the price; with their health, with their paychecks, with their dignity. Arthur Miller once said, "remember, betrayal is the only truth that sticks." I can’t think of a more appropriate...
6/ ...way to sum up our first year with Faso. The beast may indeed soon starve. But so could many innocent, hard working families of NY-19. #winwithflynn #brianflynn #ny19 #taxbill
