BACKFIRE alert! Kamala Harris argues against O-care repeal, exposes Dem failure instead

Doug P. | 9:37 AM on February 25, 2017

U.S. senator from California, Democrat Kamala Harris, has responded to Republican attempts to repeal Obamacare this way:

1 in 2 Californian children depend on Medicaid. This plan's cuts to Medicaid attacks those who need heath care most. https://t.co/GBRQkFO0st

Wow, that’s disturbing — but not for the reason Harris wants it to be:

Folks, should we be concerned that 50% of California children are on medicaid? Its not just me, right? https://t.co/rzO4AP09f5

Harris using that stat as proof why that kind of “success” story should continue is nothing short of amazing:

Medicaid is welfare. Democrats have complete control in CA. Why are half the kids in a blue state so poor? Why isn't that your focus? https://t.co/4SIlgSHwp6

Does 1 in 2 California children depending on Medicaid seem like some kind of California success story to you? https://t.co/NWzS27PrpR

if 1/2 Californian children depend on Medicaid and government assistance, California is doing it wrong….

Let me get this straight. California cannot take care of half its children without federal aid. Does it sound like a state ready to secede? https://t.co/ENuGIig469
