SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA – In an interview with 60 Minutes this week, President Donald Trump made it clear he wants the Supreme Court to end the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Meanwhile, U.S. Republican Senate candidate Jason Lewis affirms his unyielding loyalty to Donald Trump, instead of Minnesotans.
Lewis has always been quick to fall in line behind Trump. In an interview with Fox News this week, Lewis declared “I’m running with the President and glad to do it. We’re joined at the hip.”
It’s no surprise that Lewis is on board with President Trump’s plan to rip away health care from millions of Americans and gut protections for those with pre-existing conditions by overturning the ACA. Lewis has declared that he has “no disagreements” with President Trump and can’t name even one policy he disagrees with. The former congressman alsoadvocated to “get rid of the pre-existing condition mandate,” told struggling families who can’t afford insulin that the “government is not compassionate,” and said that if they needed help to “go out and find it.” This is all on top of hisrecord of voting to repeal the ACA.
