Colbert: GOP Wants to Pass Health Bill ASAP Before Anyone Gets to Reading It

‘So, come hell or high water, the vote will happen this week’

COLBERT: “Hey, you remember how the Republicans have been promising to repeal and replace ObamaCare for seven years now? Yeah. It’s been their most consistent message other than 'Turn down that hip-hop racket, you kids!' And this is the week because Senate majority leader and unacknowledged love child of Admiral Akbar, Mitch McConnell — so sad, so sad, won’t return his phone calls — has promised he will pass TrumpCare before the July 4th recess. And he has got to, because McConnell knows if they don’t pass it now, there’s a serious danger that someone might read it. No, it’s true. It will happen. They’re teaching the kids. They’re teaching the kids how to read now, it’s dangerous. So, come hell or high water, the vote will happen this week.”
