Dem Sen Warner on GOP Tax Bill: ‘Friday Was My Single Worst Day as a US Senator’

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said Friday was his “single worst day as a U.S. Senator,” in reaction to the Republican tax bill passing

Warner said, “I was saying, Friday was my single worst day as a U.S. Senator because, as somebody who wanted to be part of tax reform and realizes we need to have a more competitive corporate rate, and realizes we need to bring back some of those American profits, three things about this whole process that just plain stunk. This was swamp 101. The process on Friday night, where the bill was being hand-drafted, lots of provisions were being included for special interests.”

He added, “As somebody who’s been passionate about not adding to our already $20 trillion in debt, this bill, I believe, will add over $2 trillion to the debt. Even with whatever growth comes can from these tax cuts.”
