Last week at a health care rally outside the United States Capitol, “Pod Save America” podcast interviewed Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who during the interview said Republican legislators crafting health care legislation known as theBetter Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 were “evil people.”

Wasserman Schultz said, “Suddenly you have a pre-existing condition that you know you are dealing with for the rest of your life. And these evil people want to yank the rug out from under 129 million Americans like me and millions of others who have a pre-existing condition. On top of that take the ability of seniors to live in nursing homes and to be cared for in the waning years of their lives. This is horrific legislation that is cruel and unacceptable.”
