Trump Calls Out Freedom Caucus In Tweet Ahead Of Uncertain Repeal Vote

As Republicans geared up for a vote on their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare on Friday morning, despite uncertainty that leaders had gained enough support to pass the bill, President Donald Trump tried to push the conservative Freedom Caucus to back the legislation.

Trump used his favorite communication tool, Twitter, to single out the Freedom Caucus for its members' opposition to the House bill. The President noted that the bill would defund Planned Parenthood and that the caucus would be forgoing an attempt to block funding for the organization, perhaps in the hopes that he could shame the caucus into backing the bill.

After seven horrible years of ObamaCare (skyrocketing premiums & deductibles, bad healthcare), this is finally your chance for a great plan!

The irony is that the Freedom Caucus, which is very pro-life and against Planned Parenthood, allows P.P. to continue if they stop this plan!

I just can't stand their hateful bullshit masquerading as Christian piety.

3. This Is Just Trump's SOP....

4. You can almost smell the desperation dripping from his tiny finger tips

5. For a deal making genius

he sure is a shit negotiator that whines too much. Maybe that's how he gets the deals. He just whines and complains until everyone just wants him gone.

6. "Bullying has always worked for me in the past"

Hey, you never know, Republicans are definitely the subservient type that lauds a "strong" leader and prefers to be told what to do and how to think.

7. So make this entire fiasco healthcare bill vote about defunding a legal medical procedure?

[tanyev]

8. Oh, Donnie. Those kinds of taunts are like catnip for the Freedom Caucus.

Keep it up, though. I'm certainly getting a kick out of it.

10. Yes, kill Planned Parenthood & maternity benefits with same bill. Great plan Donald!

Very pro life. Jesus would be proud.

11. Grody Old Pervert say what?

These people are just gross.

Why won't they stop making hay about healthcare? It's indecent and immoral to use sick, needy people to rally your base.

I can't watch them flog this horse anymore. They are hazardous to my health.

12. "...against Planned Parenthood..."

I know it's difficult to express oneself in 140 characters or less but I actually think Dolt45 did excellently there. They are simply against Planned Parenthood, full stop.
