House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is urging colleagues to talk to their constituents during the recess about how the GOP tax law could lead to Medicare cuts.
It's the latest effort by Pelosi and Democrats to demonize the tax-cut bill, which they argue will starve the government of funds and result in cuts to Medicare and other entitlements.
"We must continue to amplify the truth about the GOP Tax Scam and the threat to Medicare," Pelosi said in a letter to colleges Wednesday. "I hope that this District Work Period, you will hold events in your community to spotlight these powerful issues."
