Watch: Huckabee slams Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton for ‘childish’ attack on GOP health care bill – TheBlaze.com

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) heavily criticized Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Senate minority leader, for their dramatic attacks on the Republican Senate leaderships health care bill.

On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released the Republican leaderships plan to replace the Obama-era Affordable Care Act. The bill, titled the Better Care Reconciliation Act, would scale back numerous Obamacare mandates, regulations and taxes, but would keep much of the basic framework in place.

Within 30 minutes of the 142-page bill being released, Schumer, who had accused Republicans of keeping the bill a secret as recently as the day before its release, hammered the legislation, calling it meaner than the legislation passed in the House of Representatives in May, the American Health Care Act.

This #Trumpcare bill strips away protections from the ppl [sic] who need them most in order to give a tax break to those who need it least, Schumer wrote on Twitter almost immediately after the bill was released.

Frankly, every senior in America should read the fine print of this #Trumpcare bill; it looks like American seniors could be paying WAY more, Schumer added, along with several other critical posts.

Schumer also said the bill is meaner than the AHCA and heartless.

Not to be outdone by her fellow Democrats, Clinton said on Friday the Republicans are now the death party.

Forget death panels, Clinton wrote on Twitter. If Republicans pass this bill, theyre the death party.

On Saturday, Huckabee appeared on Fox News Channels Fox & Friends, where he criticized Clinton, Schumer and other Democrats for attacking the health care bill.

Huckabee said Clintons rhetoric makes the parties look silly and shows they dont have an argument.

And when rhetoric goes to that level, I think it makes the parties look silly, Huckabee said. It sort of reveals they dont have an argument, they cant discuss the merits of a piece of legislation or a proposal, so theyre reduced to the most childish form of political rhetoric, which is to say, Youre a bad person. Youre going to kill somebody. Its so over the top; its just absurd.

I think the guy is clairvoyant, Huckabee quipped.

The curtain needs to come down on this theater, because the play is getting tiresome, Huckabee added.
