Tom Perez: Republicans "dont give a s--t about people."




Speaking at the New Jersey Working Families Alliance at an event that was broadcast on Facebook Live, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez mentioned the failed Republican attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare last month.

The chairman slammed President Trump, arguing the president “wants his name on everything” except for the proposed healthcare legislation.

“Well I'll tell you my idea, because you know what embodies their program? ‘I don’t care,’” Perez said, referencing the GOP’s failed measures, adding to applause, "Because they don’t give a s--- about people."

Good to see that he's got some fire and is willing to have our party do something other than roll over.
