MSNBC anchor calls Ted Cruz plan ‘just GARBAGE’, and gets SHUT DOWN

MSNBC host AL Velshi must be jealous of all the Trump-hating ratings that his fellow MSNBCers are getting because he went hard after Cruz and his TrumpCare amendment. Unfortunately for him, he was shut down and back down pretty quickly.

Watch below:

Here’s what Lanhee Chen from the Hoover Institution responded to his insult:

“What this is about is, what kind of plan do people want?” he said. “That’s the point that I think Ted Cruz is trying to get at there. I wouldn’t call it complete garbage.”

“The notion that people ought to have some optionality over the plan that suits them best, I don’t think is a garbage idea at all,” he added. “In fact, if you have someone who is relatively healthy, who’s doing relatively well financially, they may make a different set of decisions than someone who is not doing as well or who is sicker.”

“In the current system under the Affordable Care Act, that amount of optionality does not exist. That’s what republicans are trying to get towards,” Chen said.

It’s weird that Velshi reached out wanting really badly for someone else to hate Ted Cruz as much as he does, only to get slapped away. May it ever be thus to MSNBC hosts.
