Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed President Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill', branding it a "deal with the devil".
In an emotional speech on the House floor, AOC called Trump's campaign promise of no taxes on tips a "scam".
Ocasio- Cortez said: “It explodes our national debt. It militarises our entire economy and it strips away healthcare and basic dignity of the American people — for what?
"To give Elon Musk a tax break and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation. We cannot stand for it, and we will not support it. You should be ashamed.”
AOC argued the legislation, which extends tax cuts initially passed in 2017 during Trump’s first stint in the White House would increase taxes on lower income Americans.
