With the latest Republican-only Obamacare repeal proposal hanging by a thread, President Donald Trump took to his favorite bully pulpit on Saturday to chide lawmakers who’ve announced their opposition or are on the fence.
Trump directed tweets at Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and John McCain of Arizona.
