Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) sparred with CNN commentator Scott Jennings over comments he made Wednesday on Medicaid<\/a> and steep cuts to the program<\/a> included in President Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill. <\/p>\n

As Torres blasted House Republicans for supporting cuts<\/a> to Medicaid with the legislation signed into law<\/a> on July 4, Jennings said “according to the [Congressional Budget Office], which you deny the existence of, apparently … almost five million people, who choose not to work, would be…”<\/p>\n
