President Trump eviscerated Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) after the congressman admitted to having little idea there was a ‘no tax on tips’ provision in the “big, beautiful bill.”

Raskin’s confession is a sign that his knowledge of the bill is limited, making his objection to it willful ignorance.

In an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt on Tuesday, the Maryland Democrat was asked whether or not he supported the very popular platform. To Hunt’s surprise, Raskin seemed shocked that it had made it into the bill.

“You know, I haven’t looked seriously at it because I haven’t thought they were serious about it,” he replied.

Trying to save face by providing an actual answer, the congressman suggested that tips are income and should be subject to a “much more progressive income tax,” but then said he’s not necessarily opposed to avoiding taxes on them.

He downplayed the provision as a “symbolic consolation prize” even as a remarkable 83 percent of hourly workers support the measure.
