Cornyn On Senate Vote To End Medicare: We’re Not Ending Medicare

[Swede]

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has taken issue with the media's coverage of Wednesday's Senate vote on the GOP's Medicare-privatizing budget.

On the Senate floor Wednesday, Cornyn claimed "I will say that Republicans do not want to end Medicare as we know it. That is an intentional falsehood. That is a lie."

In response to two people who tweeted TPM's write up of the vote, Cornyn called the headline -- "Senate Republicans Vote Overwhelmingly To End Medicare" -- a "lie."
