Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland released the following statement after voting against the Republican-led bill that resulted in the greatest, most cruel, scam in history:
“President Trump and House Republicans continue to lie to the American people. They promised to lower costs on ‘day one’. Instead, they have championed the greatest scam in American history.
Trump and House Republicans have stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans. They will have closed one in four nursing homes, shut down over 300 rural hospitals, and ripped food from the mouths of five million SNAP recipients – including children.
It is clear now, more than ever before – that Trump and these spineless House Republicans do not care for the American people. They only care about themselves.”
Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. She is Whip of the New Democrat Coalition, Secretary of the Congressional Black Caucus, and is one of the first Korean-American women elected to Congress.
