By Sean Kitchen

Listen to Congressman Scott Perry talk about impeaching federal district judges and defunding federal courts standing in the way of President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Perry appeared on a right-wing podcast earlier this month and called on Republicans to use reconciliation, a budgetary maneuver that doesn’t require 60 votes in the US Senate, to pass legislation limiting judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.

Perry also called on the US House to use the Holman rule, which dates back to the 1870s, in order to defund district courts blocking Trump’s agenda.

Constituents react to Scott Perry’s lies about Medicaid

US Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-York) constituents reacted to a statement he made claiming no one will lose Medicaid coverage if they legitimately need it.

However, millions of Americans will lose their health care coverage if the US Senate approves an $800 billion Medicaid policy that lays out new work requirements.

Those covered by the bill would have to work a minimum of 80 hours a month and prove that they are working every six months.

According to the Center for American Progress, close to 340,000 Pennsylvanians may lose their coverage, including over 20,000 residents living in Perry’s district.
