Peter DeFazio’s hypocrisy

Peter DeFazio may have taken one of the dumbest votes in his congressional career today, voting to kill the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in order to protect Medicare subsidies for the top 1%.

DeFazio may talk a good game about protecting the underprivileged, but his voting record tells a completely different story. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, there are 140,786 Oregon children enrolled in CHIP.

Expect to see this vote haunt DeFazio all the way to November 2018.
