Spicer Responds to Matt Drudge Tweets Slamming GOP on Obamacare, Tax Cuts
Mediaite ^ | 2-8-17 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 02/08/2017 2:19:09 PM PST by RKBA Democrat

Press Secretary Sean Spicer responded to these tweets from Matt Drudge during today’s briefing:

Republican party should be sued for fraud. NO discussion of tax cuts now. Just lots of crazy. Back to basics, guys! pic.twitter.com/5uHIg8klq6

White House eyeing executive order targeting ‘conflict minerals’ rule… Meanwhile, is Obamacare penalty tax still in place?

— MATT DRUDGE (@DRUDGE) February 8, 2017

In response to the question from Breitbart White House correspondent Charlie Spiering, Spicer said there is no stalling going on, arguing that Obamacare is a “mammoth thing to repeal and replace.”

And with something that deals with a giant portion of the economy, he added, Trump’s goal “is to get it done right.”

I agree. Im willing to give Trump time but since Im not homo for the guy there are limits to that suppprt. If he doesnt end the obamacare penalty, build the wall, end the wave of poverty flooding into this country and the flood of jobs leaving then hes lost me.

I’m going to cut them a break for the first two weeks of Trump’s presidency. Let’s see how this first year ends.

Same here. Trump hasn't even gotten his team in place yet.

Obamacare is a monster of complexity and the transition to a replacement won’t be easy. Plus Trump doesn’t have his HHS secretary yet.

If they do not propose and act, I believe Trump will.

Tax cuts and repealing ACA were never on the table.

Yep, the tax cuts and ACA repeal should have been passed by the House last month.

No excuse. The House GOP are frauds and it isn’t a great sign that Trump’s VP and CoS are two of the Speaker’s closest allies.

ACA will never be repealed. It will be expanded into a full socialist single payer system. Which has always been promised.

I feel like I woke up, only to find that during the night they changed our system of government to a tweetocracy.

I’m not happy with Spicer. His delivery isn’t smooth. He speaks in disjoint sentences that aren’t cohesive.

Hey Trump, Get another Kellyanne to fill his shoes.

I believe Price has a plan, Trump will put Price’s plan in place as soon as he is in place!!! I don’t think Trump trusts RYAN or the rest of them for that matter!! Price has been working on a plan for years and he KNOWS exactly how to get rid of OCARE and what to replace it with!!!

Took Obama a year or more to get that travesty made. Trump in place less than a month...less than 2 weeks(?)... and people are whining already.

Before Obamacare, I had to have a Cat scan. I just started a new job and had no insurance. I wrote and asked about a discount for cash. The hospital comped the bill ad the doctor cut his in half.

I thought that eliminating the tax penalty re Obamacare was one of the things he did on Day One ?

I believe they have a plan. Trump has always said he wanted single payer. Soon, we will have ACA on steroids. If you think it’s bad now, just wait.

Probably the U.S. already had the last tax cut it’s ever going to have. From now on, taxes will only go up.

It’s a whole 2 weeks.

Frankly considering how the “base” has to cower in fear of the left’s attack mobs, and have made no real public display of support for Trump, I find it rich that anyone is screaming about all of this not being done in a little over 14 days.

If the base wants fast, then they can find the people they sent to congress, especially the ones from Kentucky and Wisconsin, and make a show of force.
