Chuck Schumer was warned after criticizing GOP lawmakers over a bill he claims would devastate states. He cited budget tactics and Medicaid cuts.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced a reprimand for his pointed criticism of Republican senators.
He accused them of supporting legislation that would allegedly devastate their own states, claiming they lacked the courage to acknowledge its negative consequences.
Schumer specifically called out Senator Thom Tillis, highlighting his concerns about the bill's potential $40 billion Medicaid cuts in North Carolina.
The rebuke came from Senator Bernie Moreno, who cited Senate Rule 19, which prohibits senators from attributing improper motives or making offensive remarks about other senators or states during the debate over what President Trump called his "big beautiful bill".
Schumer argued that Republicans were using deceptive budgetary tactics to conceal the true cost of the legislation.
