US Rep. Cliff Bentz tackles town halls, Medicaid in wide-ranging OPB interview
Oregon Republican Rep. Cliff Bentz told OPB's Dave Miller that he supports President Donald Trump's cost-cutting measures, and discussed potential cuts to federal health care benefits
www.opb.org
"Bentz: So, you might want to qualify your question and say… if Oregonians are kicked off the plan, it’s because they don’t deserve to be on it."

Guy who has been a heinous monster for the duration of his political career continues to be truly monstrous and incredibly stupid. Enjoy being the most hated douchebag in Oregon, you fucking ghoul.
Oregon's lone Republican Congressman Cliff Bentz voted to pass the bill despite Medicaid cuts disproportionately hurting his constituents. About 1 in 3 Oregonians rely on Medicaid for health insurance. But in his 20 counties, the numbers are much higher.

"Representative Cliff Bentz is the only member of Oregon’s House delegation who has not sponsored House Resolution 70, which demands Congress keep the postal service out of private control." On brand for Oregon's worst fucking rep #CliffBentzSucks

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Just to answer some of your questions: We are asking Senate Democrats to vote NO on cloture without a path to winning a clean 30-day continuing resolution.
Cloture requires 60 votes, so the Senate GOP will need Democratic support. Urge your senators to hold the line. 👇
