Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) tore into Vice President JD Vance Saturday morning while heavily criticizing President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which passed in July.
The vice president appeared in Georgia on Thursday, defending the unpopular GOP megabill, which Vance referred to as the “working families tax cut.” The massive 940-page bill contains drastic cuts to social safety net programs while boosting the budget for the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
MSNBC’s “The Weekend” host Eugene Daniels asked Boyle, the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, what message it sends that Vance — instead of Trump — is “touting” the law, noting that the president “has never not wanted to be at a ribbon cutting.”
“Well JD Vance of course is a phony and a fraud,” Boyle answered, adding that Vance “speaks today the exact opposite” of “how he spoke” when he wrote his 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.”
The congressman went on to say Vance does not have Trump’s “weird sort of charisma and hold on people.”
