During Trump’s speech on tax cuts on Monday, Tur decided to tweet about a woman who was thankful for her bonus. It resulted in instant criticism.
Tur tweeted:
Woman who just spoke says she's going to use her $1,000 bonus and tax cut to help buy a home and pay for her two kids who are going to college.
In Hamilton Co, Ohio (where they are) avg home is $277,582
Avg cost of private college nationally ~35,000
Public $19,000— Katy Tur (@KatyTurNBC) February 5, 2018
There were many who felt that Tur’s comment was out of touch:
I live in Hamilton county Ohio in a 110,000 house. Of which there are plenty. Its not the 1,000 but the tax cut that will help her immensely. Why don't you just admit your bias and be done with it, its obviously not reporting. And you probably wonder why no one trust the MSM

You are such a snob. I paid for two kids to go to college. An extra hundred bucks a month would have made a huge difference for my household.

Based on the response, some people were not appreciative of her going after the woman. – READ MORE

A new campaign ad from the National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting Democratic candidates running in the 2018 midterms using House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) recent “crumbs” remarks, belittling the bonuses and wage increases that employees are receiving as a result of the GOP tax reform bill.
“The ad, titled ‘Changing Lives,’ takes aim at Pennsylvania Democratic Congressional nominee Conor Lamb who called the GOP’s efforts to overhaul the tax system a ‘complete betrayal,'” The Washington Free Beacon reported. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]President Donald Trump knocked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday, suggesting that she, like former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, would energize his base after describing tax reform bonuses as “crumbs.”
“She’s a rich woman who lives in a big, beautiful house in California, who wants to give all of your money away,” Trump said while speaking in Ohio.
Trump likened Pelosi’s crumbs comment to Clinton’s “deplorable” description of Trump supporters she used during the 2016 presidential campaign. – READ MORE
