Rep. Tim Burchett got into it with CNN's Brianna Keilar as the House debated the president's "big beautiful bill."
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) sparred with CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Wednesday evening about the impact President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” would have on access to health care.
After Burchett said the media was lying about how many people would lose Medicaid coverage, Keilar noted that those numbers ― showing nearly 12 million would lose access ― come from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
“So you’re taking issue with the CBO estimate here?” she asked.
“Yes ma’am, I do have an issue with it. The office is very partisan,” Burchett said, saying much of the staff are Democrats. “We ought to do away with these organizations because we use them when we like them. We don’t use them when we don’t like them.”
But Keilar had some receipts.
