McConnell won't back Trump's State Dept deep cuts, disagrees with House on Obamacare

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday said he would not back slashing State Department funding as the Trump administration is expected to propose, adding that deep cuts would not pass the legislative chamber.

Speaking to reporters, McConnell also said Republicans, who control both the Senate and the House of Representatives, are still not in agreement on a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare.

there are not enough lies that will give them cover. They got away with blaming Hillary after repugs refused to increase security. I don't think they could get away with it again.
