Republicans keep voting for bills they say they don't like

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after he cast a decisive vote to pass a sweeping domestic policy bill that cuts Medicaid by about $1 trillion, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a bill to repeal some of those cuts.

“Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect,” Hawley said in a statement.

It sparked mockery from the normally mild-mannered Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., who posted on X: “Just so I’m clear… he’s introducing a bill….to repeal the bill… he voted for….two weeks ago?”

Hawley said he feared the party's megabill would cause long-term harm if the Medicaid cuts are fully implemented, but still voted for it because it will deliver more hospital money for Missouri in the first four years.

They're kind of stupid that way.
