Sen. John Hickenlooper said Tuesday that the Trump administration’s broad cuts to federal programs will come to hurt farmers, veterans and food stamp recipients — and Republicans will come to regret it.
“If these cuts continue and suddenly farmers aren’t going to be able to get crop insurance, right, for their crops, that’s going to cripple small farmers way more than the big guys,” the moderate Colorado Democrat said at POLITICO Playbook’s First 100 Days breakfast series Tuesday.
“I guarantee you that will get connected to all these other cuts, and there will be a lot of people showing up at their Republican House member saying, ‘How can you support this?’” he added.
