Conway on Moore: We want the votes to pass tax reform

Source: The Hill




BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/20/17 08:30 AM EST

White House aide Kellyanne Conway on Monday suggested Alabama voters should support embattled Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore because he would vote for the GOP's tax reform legislation making its way through Congress.

“Doug Jones in Alabama, folks, don’t be fooled. He will be a vote against tax cuts. He is weak on crime, weak on borders. He is strong on raising your taxes. He is terrible for property owners," Conway said on "Fox & Friends."

“So, vote Roy Moore?” host Brian Kilmeade interjected.

“I’m telling you that we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through,” Conway said, calling Jones a “doctrinaire liberal.”

especially the mortgage interest deduction and others like student loan interest and medical/long term care expenses.

Many middle class Alabamans will end up paying higher taxes with the GOP plan.

But, when they talk among themselves (and the chatter bleeds through, as it inevitably does) It's all about "Tax Cuts".
