President Trump outlined his tax cut plan in Indiana on Wednesday, and CNN White House correspondent and Statue of Liberty aficionado Jim Acosta was there to fact-check the number of red MAGA caps in the crowd.
There were plenty of hot takes like that one, but our favorite has to be this one from Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, who made the usual noise about tax cuts only benefitting the wealthy.
White House's new tax plan is a reminder that Republicans are all for wealth redistribution – so long as it redistributes to those who are already wealthy. #TaxReform #TaxReformForSome

How did you have time to read it? You're on trial for corruption. https://t.co/Naw7SeQW9a

Menendez does deserve a lot of credit, and not just for chutzpah — it’s impressive that he can analyze the president’s tax plan while standing trial on federal corruption charges.
??dude is on trial right now. https://t.co/7uMy7DbRCz

Hmmm I think you should just focus on what your defense will be on your charges. You will be resigning soon anyways. https://t.co/Xs2wbW54GH
