Joy-Ann Reid checks Trumpcare spinner "You can't disagree with math" (VIDEO)

Joy-Ann Reid did not allow a Conservative Republican spox to use her platform to spread misinformation. It did not take her long to put him in check. Most importantly she did not allow him to speak again for those particular reasons.

I really do not know why any GOP rep would go on her show in the first place!

We have to stay vigilant and keep calling Congress until Oct 1st when the calendar expires. Call non stop until then. The mega rich donors are really pressuring the senators to repeal so they get their already paid/bribed for tax cuts. And McConnell must have a win and hates Obama so he will be more evil and sneaky than ever (remember Gorsuch?). DO NOT TRUST THEM! I still do not trust McCain or Collins either. Murkowski is giving me an ulcer too. I need a giant bottle of 2mg Xanax...that could get me through the next week along with a couple of gallons of whiskey. The GOP is killing me mentally, physically and financially. Please, Please Please call (202)224-3121. THANKS!

The halftruth: "in 2026, government spending on healthcare subsidies will drop from the $221-billion of the ACA to $200-billion. That's not a significant drop."

Yep. That's true. Here's the half he doesn't say:

After 2026, the R plan ELIMINATES SUBSIDIES ALTOGETHER. ZEROES THEM OUT. We go from $221-billion to $0.
