President Donald Trump’s second term has turned Republican town halls into battlegrounds and Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov spelled out why.
“The reality is, is that no Republican that represents a swing district can hold a town hall,” the liberal voice on “The Five” panel show pointed out Tuesday.
It’s “because everyone in their district is showing up to scream at them about cuts to government benefits, what Donald Trump is doing in militarizing D.C and wanting to go around the country taking over,” she continued. “The fact that they are arresting good, hardworking people at Home Depots and in churches and in immigration courts and most of all, the cost of living is too damn high.”
Tarlov suggested the Democratic message to counter Trump and the GOP is actually “simple”:
“Your life is more expensive under Donald Trump, he started trade wars that are completely unnecessary and is jacking up the cost of living, he’s coming for your healthcare and the most important thing to him is to give tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.”
