'The bottom line: Republicans sold the tax scam as a way to create jobs and help workers. They lied,' Bernie Sanders tweeted
Senator Bernie Sanders cited Ford's announcement of 7,000 layoffs in blasting the Republican tax bill as a"scam" and accusing GOP lawmakers of lying.
Sanders' remarks hit at a core element of Trump's messaging during the 2016 campaign, when he promised to bring back jobs. Republicans cheered the legislation overhauling the nation's tax code as a major achievement and the president depicted it as a victory for workers. Democrats have harshly rebuked it, stating that large corporations gain the most benefits from the overhaul, which dropped the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent.
