Matt Drudge Says Republicans Are A Danger, Fraud To Nation After Elizabeth Warren Censured On Senate Floor

Conservative media stalwart Matt Drudge of the website the Drudge Report slammed Republican leaders Wednesday in a series of tweets over tax cuts.

He tweeted, "Republican party should be sued for fraud. NO discussion of tax cuts now. Just lots of crazy. Back to basics, guys!" Accompanying the post was a photo of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Drudge has not shied away from criticizing GOP leaders during President Donald Trump's weeks-old administration. The high-profile media figure has been a supporter of Trump, who shocked most of the world by defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in November's election.

Earlier in the morning, he also lambasted McConnell's choice to silence Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on the Senate floor. Warren, a Democrat, had been reading a 1986 letter written by Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow, which had expressed opposition to Trump's attorney general pick, Sen. Jeff Sessions.

"No Obamacare repeal, tax cuts! But Republicans vote to shut Warren? Only know how to be opposition not lead! DANGER," tweeted Drudge.

After the initial tweetstorm had passed, Drudge lobbed another criticism, but this one at the White House. Drudge questioned the reported plan for an executive order that could walk back the requirement for companies to disclose if products have "conflict minerals," while an "Obamacare penalty tax" still exists. That is apparently a reference to the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) rule that everyone must have health insurance or face a penalty.

Drudge has, in fact, complained about tax cuts, or lack thereof, before during Trump's short presidency.

"Congress hanging The Donald out to dry. Making him do everything alone! Despicable. No tax cuts, no Obamacare repeal. NOTHING," wrote Drudge on Twitter in late January.

Trump has signed a number of executive orders during his presidency, most notably one that halted immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. But actions such as repealing Obamacare or getting tax cuts done would likely require Congress.
