**BREAKING** Jimmy Kimmel - That lying dog ," Bill Cassidy, lied right to my face."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Kimmel's monologue is his second on health care reform, and comes amidst a push among Senate Republicans for a vote on the Graham-Cassidy bill, the newest iteration of legislation to repeal Obamacare composed by Senators Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy. The proposed legislation would repeal the individual mandate that requires consumers to purchase health insurance and provide states with decade-long block spending for health care. The Senators need 50 votes for the bill to pass, but only have until September 30th to get them.
"Healthcare is complicated, it's boring — I don't want to talk about it — the details are confusing, and that's what these guys are relying on," Kimmel said. "We are all just looking at our Instagram accounts liking things, when they are voting on whether people can afford to keep their children alive or not."


As the Senate nears a deadline for a last-ditch effort to repeal Obamacare, television host Jimmy Kimmel stepped up to tell his audience how he believed the new Republican health care plan could hurt them and their families.
"This new bill actually does pass the Jimmy Kimmel test," Kimmel said Tuesday night on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live! "But with this one, your child with a pre-existing condition will get the care he needs, if — and only if —his father is Jimmy Kimmel."

Lying dog is my word. The words in quotations marks are Kimmel's words.

1. context? no idea what this is about... (n/t)

2. Cassidy went on his show before and told the audience that his co-sponsored

Hellcare plan is wonderful, etc (more BS and lies since it is even worse than the ones that came before it if that is possible). Kimmel is setting the record straight since the GOP is doing what they do best...lie and harm people so the 1% gets richer at the expense of the old, young, women, unemployed, self employed, infants, people in nursing homes, etc . I am one of them.

Call Congress and tell them to go to HELL [phone] Thank you!

3. Called both of my WI senators,

Got through last night, but tonight Senator Ron Johnson's 'mailbox is full'.

4. Very cool, thank you sooooo much!

5. You should pay attention

Because YOU may be affected!

[Scurrilous]

6. K&R

[ooky]

7. Great job by Kimmell shaming clown Cassidy. North Carolina will lose 1.1 billion

in federal health care funding from this stinking scam of a bill. I bet Tillis and Burr can't wait to vote for it and then vote to give it back to people who don't need a tax cut.

8. Media must call out lies if they want lies to stop

Right now the GOP can lie unchallenged. So why should they stop?

Good for Kimmel for speaking the truth - that Cassidy lied to his face.

9. So so good that Kimmel called out lies

This is what we need from the media.
If a GOP politician lies, CALL IT A LIE.

This little simple principle could fix our politics.

10. Not an untruth, not an "alternative fact" (as if there are such things)...

... not an erroneous claim, not a falsehood, not "their side of the story"... it's a LIE.

12. Cassidy: you lied to his face. Lied. Why did you lie?

11. Good for Jimmy Kimmel

glad he finally figured out how things are in the real world. The real world where republicans don't think that nobodies baby should be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition. Glad he has learned better and has found the courage to speak out,but it needs to be said he caused a lot of damage by being naive. I remember that big introduction he gave Cassidy on his show. Pointing out Cassidy was a Doctor to try and present him as some kind of authority over healthcare. Doctors and especially Doctors who become Senators are not immune to being dicks.
