'No pain, no gain': GOP tells Americans to suck it up as economy worsens [View all]
Congressional Cowards is a weekly series highlighting the worst Donald Trump defenders on Capitol Hill, who refuse to criticize him—no matter how disgraceful or lawless his actions.
As President Donald Trump's pointless trade wars and devastating cuts to federal agencies raise fears of a painful recession, GOP lawmakers took to cable news this week to tell Americans that they need to accept a little hardship to let Trump get his way.
Republicans have finally given up on lying to Americans about who pays the price for tariffs and have changed their approach by telling Americans to just accept higher prices for a bit while Trump’s trade war plays out.
"No pain, no gain. That's what we used to tell our football players. There's gonna be some pain with tariffs. But tariffs got us back as a strongest economy in the world when President Trump was in the first time. He knows what he's doing. Democrats get out of the way. Shut up,” Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama said on Fux Business.
