Claire McCaskill takes down Orin Hatch as he LIES about TaxScamBill cutting BILLIONS from Medicaid..

short gif but worth the watch.

Watching Orrin Hatch try to lie his way through the hearings on the #GopTaxScam is a bizarre combination of the agonizing and the sublime. Agonizing because Hatch is so inept. Sublime because Hatch is so inept.

Now I’m sure Hatch has no idea what’s in the tax bill! Poor us!

She has a lot of guts to put herself in the spotlight like this, since a LOT of dark right wing money will be spent to unseat her. Even more so after this.

I'm giving her the max I can. She is putting her Senate seat on the line to publicly call out Hatch for the right wing tool he is.

I think I could watch it about 25 times in a row. McCaskill is far from my favorite Senator, but she absolutely shines here, and shows off her prosecutor-past.
