'Never seen anything like this': Analyst stunned by latest GOP 'self-sabotage'
With Senate Republicans reportedly poised to hold a vote on Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill on Saturday, MSNBC host Sam Stein claimed the majority party is making a huge mistake that will come back to haunt them.
At Trump's urging, the Senate GOP leadership wants to press ahead with the vote despite the fact that the bill has huge gaps in it and the fact that no one has had time to read the entire budget package.
According to an incredulous Stein, voting so soon defies logic.
"I can't get over a couple of things here," he told the panel. "One is the process, which is they haven't finished writing this thing and they are still going to vote on it tomorrow."
"It's crazy to me that, I mean there's not been a single hearing in the Senate, they don't have a budget analysis, they don't have an analysis of how many people will be impacted by the Medicaid cuts. They don't actually know what's in the bill," he elaborated. "They have to rewrite the bill, and they're still going to vote on it tomorrow. I mean, it's madness –– let's just call it what it is: it's total madness, we've never seen anything like this happen before."
Noting they are trying to get the bill to Trump's desk by July 4th, he added, "I don't think I've ever really witnessed a party self-sabotage in this type of fashion, as the Republicans are doing right now, all because they're extremely worried about offending Donald Trump."
