Kevin McCarthy Is Starting To Flail

Kevin McCarthy was asked by NBC News’s Garrett Haake about Biden’s offer to reduce prescription drug costs and this was the exchange:

McCarthy: How can the White House be interested in that when they said you can't touch Medicare or Social Security?

Haake: You don't think there are savings to be had there?

McCarthy: No, remember what the president said?

Haake: So that's a cut in your view.

McCarthy: The president said you can't --

Haake: I'm asking your opinion.

McCarthy: Okay. I understand. But I've got to be clear. The president said you can't do anything with Medicare Social Security and now he wants to bring that into the fold. We all heard that from all the people across the country over and over.
