Support for the Republican-enacted tax cuts is rising even as the Democrats are making it a focal point of their 2018 midterms campaign. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi found that out the hard way at a town hall in Arizona.
Pelosi (D-California) was in Phoenix on Tuesday for a tax cuts town hall, part of a 100-city tour the Democrats are organizing to underscore their opposition to the measure. She was accompanied by Representative Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona), state representative Tony Navarette and David Lujan of the Arizona Center for Economic Progress, a Democratic think-tank.
Video from the event, however, shows Pelosi getting heckled by one of the audience members as she tried to quote Rev. Martin Luther King about the rich and the poor.
“How much are you worth, Nancy?” the heckler shouts. “We're not talking about that,” she responds.
