Needless to say, Bernie Sanders is not a fan of the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare – he's even more furious over the Republican's choice to craft the bill in utter secret.
Complete with his signature arm waving, and with his hair at peak mad scientist – Sanders gave a fiery speech on the Senate Floor today in which he condemned Republican leadership for trying to pass a bill that they know would hurt millions of Americans.
“It should tell every American, whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent, whether you’re conservative or progressive. It should tell you something that major, major legislation is being written at this moment, and most Republicans don’t have a clue as to what’s in that legislation, let alone Democrats, let alone the average American,” Sanders declared from the Senate floor.
He then added, “So I say to the Republican leadership, what are you afraid of? Bring that bill out... And I should think that every Republican should be embarrassed by this, and I know that many of them are embarrassed by it."
