This is BRUTAL.

It’s also fantastic…it’s watching democracy happening. Real people asking their elected leaders real questions.

Dr. Rob Davidson confronted Mike Pence about the Trump administration’s plan to cut Medicaid, and the Vice President deflected, lied, and fell apart.

And lucky for us, he put the entire thing on Twitter.

Dr. Davidson is a doctor who treats patients who rely on Medicaid in Michigan confronted Pence on the administration’s proposal to block grant Medicaid.

Pence first denies knowledge of the proposal, then falsely claimed that the change only applied to states that didn’t expand Medicaid, then laughably claimed that cutting federal funding to Medicaid would expand the program.

Pence lies as often as his lover Trump does.

Here is part one:

1/2 I just ran into @VP Mike Pence at the Drake Diner in Des Moines. I confronted him about his damaging health care cuts because for me it's not about politics, it's about saving lives.#DrakeUniversity #IowaCaucus #TrumpRallyIA #MedTwitter pic.twitter.com/LuXQcl9GVn

Part two:

2/2 When I told him he is putting my patients' lives at risk, @VP deflected and denied knowledge of the policy. He either doesn't understand, or doesn't care about the impact of this administrations' policies on patients everywhere. pic.twitter.com/HcE1XYfUTj

As you can see, Pence disagreed with the factual statement that cutting funds for Medicaid results in fewer people having coverage.

Pence fell apart and couldn’t justify the administration’s cuts to Medicaid. The video illustrated why healthcare will be a powerful issue in the election. Every person who loses their coverage under Trump is a potential Democratic voter in 2020.
