Republican Speaker's Critique of Democrat Claims on Federal Benefit Cuts

Published | Video Starts at 00:13

The same people that told everybody during the last budget cycle that Republicans were cutting Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, wic, SNAP and veterans benefits, they lied to you because none of those got cut. As a matter of fact We expanded WIC by $500 million. So if somebody's intentionally telling you something that they know not to be true, I call them liars. So the Democrat Party, they have nothing to offer policy wise. (00:13–00:17)

CLAIM
