YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) said he has “been called a racist” by fellow members of the House Ways and Means Committee for his support of Medicaid work requirements passed this month as part of the GOP’s massive tax and spending legislation.

“I think work matters in America. I’ve been criticized by that — I’ve been called a racist because I think you should work — by members of the Ways and Means Committee,” Hern said Wednesday during an interview with NewsNation reporter Joe Khalil at the Hill Nation Summit.

He told Khalil that he ran on the idea that the government should get out of the way of businesses so “they can create jobs and put Americans to work.”
