Sears: “The bill as you know now does so many great things.”

VIRGINIA – Following her comments that Donald Trump’s tax bill “does so many great things”, Winsome-Earle Sears is coming under fire for cheering on and praising 322,000 Virginians losing health insurance and 6 or more rural hospitals closing.
