As I have mentioned before, I have the misfortune of being represented by none other than Elise Stefanik in congress. The former “moderate” has been rewarded handsomely for making a name for herself during her stunts during Donald Trump’s impeachment hearings, and is now the 3rd ranking GOP member of the House of Representatives. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, she also happens to be the personification of everything wrong with the Republican party.

Stefanik decided to pay homage to the 56th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid with a tweet. A tweet that read:

“Today’s Anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid reminds us to reflect on the critical role these programs have played to protect the healthcare of millions of families. To safeguard our future, we must reject Socialist healthcare schemes.”

I went over it three times to process what I had read.

“To safeguard our future, we must reject socialist healthcare schemes…”
