Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal wants to hold an “emergency field hearing” on the repeal of Obamacare.
Blumenthal says there is a “secret strategy” by Senate Republicans to push their version of the American Health Care Act, and he wants to head them off at the pass.
How many of you remember the arrogance Democrats had in pushing through Obamacare years ago just because they had a super majority in the House and Senate? They wanted to rule without any help from Republicans, and many lawmakers didn’t read the bill before passing it.
Wasn’t our senior Sen. Blumenthal on the other side of the door when the Democrats locked the Republicans out during Obamacare creation? Sad

That wasn’t all. Democrats also gave Barack Obama the authority to change the law’s language without having to go back to Congress.
Now, Democrats want to cry about a secret strategy allegation. Someone get them a new box of Kleenex.

“It’s a small group of Republicans, meeting in secret [and] none of us on the Democratic side have a clue as to what they’re doing,” Blumenthal told the Hartford Current.
“How do we vote in the next few weeks on a bill that has not been…reduced to writing, that has been done in secret without any kind of public hearing?” the senator continued.
Republicans ripped the Democratic Affordable Care Act when it was a bill in Congress, claiming the bill’s deliberations were done in secret.
However, top Senate Republicans claim there have been several public hearings on regarding the American Health Care Act.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said this week there have been “gazillions of hearings on this subject” over the years.
Senator Blumenthal’s home state is crashing and rather than amending the rotting carcass of Obamacare he wants to play demagogue.

Democrats will stop at nothing to end Trump’s agenda. They didn’t want Republicans to help when they crafted Obamacare. But now they want to help fix it. Cry me a river.
I don’t trust liberals and I never will. They will never be part of the rebuilding of America because they don’t have the vision to make it happen.
Blumenthal is barking up the wrong tree with his whining and should either sit on the sidelines or retire.
What do you think of this stunt by Blumenthal? Do you think this meeting will do anything to stall the Republicans? Leave your answer below in the comment section and add this to your Twitter/Facebook timeline.
