Trump’s Truth Social post said, "It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions [sic] Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together. Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement."
Bash read the whole thing aloud on "Inside Politics," except for the phrase "which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together." Instead, she said, "I’m not even going to read that," and skipped it.

Bash’s comments came as the U.S. Senate was set to vote on President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescission package, a bill set to cut over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the government-backed funding arm for NPR and PBS.
