U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), known for being a fierce ally to President Donald Trump, was hit with an avalanche of evidence that he is wrong after "challenging anyone" to explain a Dem's statement about Trump hurting hospitals.
Lee took to social media over the weekend to share a video of U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, at a rally saying, "Trump was supposed to fight for the working class; instead, he's literally closing rural clinics and hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros and Elon Musk."
Lee responded to that with a direct challenge.
"I challenge anyone making this absurd accusation to name one rural hospital or clinic Trump has closed—either 'to cut taxes for George Soros and Elon Musk' or otherwise," Lee wrote on X. "No one can This is not a thing."
Except it is a thing, according to many political observers.
New York Times bestselling author Maddox replied, "Here you go, clown," and linked to a Fortune article called, ‘Is this kind of the first domino to fall?’ Trump’s Medicaid cuts shut down the only hospital for miles around in an elderly New England mountain town.
Photojournalist Steve Rhodes said, "Glenn Medical Center 'which for more than seven decades has treated residents of its small farm town about 75 miles north of Sacramento' closed in October because of a decision by the Trump administration."
Political influencer Maine chimed in with, "Sure. Here are three: • Glenn Medical Center (Willows, CA) • Stilwell Memorial (Stilwell, OK) • Northern Light Inland (Waterville, ME)."
Dem strategist Matt McDermott also weighed in.
"Despite Republican lies, the fact is that Trump cut taxes for the rich while gutting healthcare for working class Americans," he added Sunday while linking to numerous articles.
