Washington, D.C. — Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar (TX-35) issued the following statement on passage of House Republicans’ reconciliation bill:
“Trump’s massive tax giveaway to billionaires is incredibly unpopular with the American people. That’s why Republicans passed it in the middle of the night, it’s why they’re lying to the cameras about what’s in the bill, it’s why they refuse to hold town halls. There will be a political price to pay for this vote to strip millions of Americans of their health care and nutrition support to fund handouts to the ultra-rich.
“But this fight is not over. Americans in red districts and blue districts will continue to stand up and speak out as the bill makes its way to the Senate and back to the House, and progressives will not back down until we take down this dangerous bill.”
