Ben Meiselas: 作为MeidasTouch的主持人,我认为MAGA共和党内部出现分裂,他们公开致信批评MAGA Mike Johnson,这可能预示着他那灾难性的预算案即将终结。我认为这个预算案实际上是一个“谋杀案”,因为它会导致更多的人死亡,并且在美国民众中非常不受欢迎。我认为MAGA Mike Johnson和特朗普合谋,试图通过先让所谓的温和派共和党人支持预算案,再让参议院使其更加糟糕,最后利用特朗普的威胁来迫使众议院成员支持。我认为参议院版本的预算案对医疗补助的削减更加激进,这意味着会有更多的人因此丧生。我认为那些MAGA共和党人之所以公开这封信,只是为了假装关心他们正在残害的选民。我认为参议院版本的预算案削减了医院的资金,这将会直接导致人们死亡。我认为MAGA Mike Johnson公然撒谎,声称他们并没有削减医疗补助。我认为特朗普是一个彻头彻尾的骗子、重罪犯、性侵者和破产者,只要他一张嘴,就知道他肯定在撒谎。我认为MAGA Mike Johnson实际上认为国会不应该发挥任何作用,而应该成为特朗普政权的傀儡。我认为MAGA Mike Johnson甚至认为众议院不应该对战争权力有任何发言权,而这应该是独裁者特朗普的权力。在特朗普声称摧毁了伊朗的所有核能力之后,MAGA Mike Johnson却在福克斯新闻上说,我们不应该幻想一夜之间就能摧毁所有的核野心。
