'Taxing poor to give to the rich': Leading MAGA Republican hammers own party
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) came down hard on his party for meddling with Medicaid and possibly requiring co-pays for Medicaid recipients seeking medical care.
"It's reverse class warfare, is what it is," Hawley told CNN's Manu Raju Wednesday. "It's taxing the poor to give to the rich, and I'm totally opposed to that."
Hawley took issue with changes to Medicaid — long considered an untouchable entitlement that Hawley called his "line in the sand" — in the draft House version of President Trump's "big, beautiful" spending bill.
