What_Exit put the modhat on for this specifically,
But @Kearsen essentially said both sides had done nothing to address the healthcare problem. That’s clearly, demonstrably, factually, stupefyingly wrong, but all he’s done is move the goal posts to what Democrats did wrong .
The “essentially… both sides” “incorrect claim” is probably this:
If the ACA gets struck down, it isn’t like it is a giant surprise and both parties should have been working together on something the entire time.
Bunch of lazy fat rich punks.
The incorrect and demonstrably false part would ostensibly be that the Democratic party was not trying to work with Republicans on a replacement for the Affordable Care Act (I don’t know for certain that they were, but I am aware of proposals coming out of that party). Kearsen1 claimed that both parties should be working together , which implies that the parties were not working together, which is actually true. Then he says politicians (?) from “both parties” are a “[b]unch of lazy fat rich punks”, which implies that neither party tried to work with the other to replace the ACA.
I think that is the claim Kearsen1 was called out on, and told he could not ignore.

FTR, I was astounded by his claim that somehow both parties were equally to blame for there being no healthcare policy superior to the ACA, and annoyed by his refusal to acknowledge the GOP’s role in thwarting the development of any such policy. But I was really surprised by the mod stepping into the conversation.
But his reaction to the mod? Inexcusable.
