NATION East Oregonian Page 6A Friday, July 28, 2017 Scaramucci threats, One vote short: Obamacare repeal fails senators insults inflame fierce GOP McCain, Collins, Murkowski oppose White House fight WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s new communications director exploded the smol- dering tensions at the White House into a full-fledged conflagration Thursday, angrily daring Trump’s chief of staff to deny he’s a “leaker” and exposing West Wing backstabbing in language more suitable to a mobster movie than a seat of presidential stability. In a pull-no-punches, impromptu CNN interview that he said was authorized by the president, Anthony Scaramucci went after chief of staff Reince Priebus in graphic terms. “The fish stinks from the head down,” he said. “I can tell you two fish that don’t stink, and that’s me and the president.” Not even a week into his new job, Scaramucci accused unidentified senior officials of trying to sabotage him and committing a felony by leaking information. But the personal financial infor- mation that he said someone had “leaked” about him had simply been obtained through a public records request. Then in an interview published by The New Yorker late Thursday, an angry Scaramucci used an expletive to accuse Priebus of being a “f------ paranoid schizophrenic” and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon of trying to burnish his own reputation — only more nasty and graphically. He also threatened to fire White House staffers who leaked about a dinner he had with the president. “They’ll all be fired by me,” Scaramucci told the magazine. “I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I’ll fire tomorrow. I’ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus — if you want to leak something — he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.” WASHINGTON (AP) — Dealing a serious blow to President Donald Trump’s agenda, the Senate early Friday rejected a measure to repeal parts of former Presi- dent Barack Obama’s health care law after a night of high suspense in the U.S. Capitol. Unable to pass even a so-called “skinny repeal,” it was unclear if Senate Republicans could advance any health bill despite seven years of promises to repeal “Obamacare.” A key vote to defeat the measure was cast by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who returned to the Senate this week after receiving a diagnosis of brain cancer. In an impassioned speech the day he returned, McCain had called for bipartisanship on major issues of national concern, and a return to the “regular order” of legislating by committee. Three Republicans joined with all Democrats to reject the amendment, which would have repealed a mandate that most individ- uals get health insurance and suspended a requirement that large companies provide coverage to their employees. It would have also delayed a tax on medical devices and denied funding to Planned Parenthood for a year. The final vote was 49-51. Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine joined McCain in voting now. The amendment was a last resort for Senate Repub- licans to pass something — anything — to trigger negotiations with the House. “This is clearly a disap- pointing moment,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He put the health care bill on hold. Buoyed by a signal from House Speaker Paul Ryan, McConnell had introduced a By day’s end Scaramucci sounded calmer, though not regretful. “I sometimes use colorful language. I will refrain in this arena but not give up the passionate fight for @ realDonaldTrump’s agenda,” he tweeted. He also blamed the reporter, Ryan Lizza. “I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter,” he added later. “It won’t happen again.” The president’s senior counselor, Kellyanne Conway, had earlier spec- ulated in a Fox News inter- view that unnamed forces were out to get Scaramucci, saying: “Somebody is trying to get in his way and scare him off.” “There are leaks and then there are people using the press to shiv each other in the ribs,” she said. Meanwhile, no one in the White House took up for Priebus — including Priebus himself. Sanders avoided giving a direct answer when asked whether Trump has confidence in Priebus. The past 24 hours provided the clearest evidence yet that Scaramucci and Trump, both brash New Yorkers, are cut from the same cloth. One of their shared techniques: publicly shaming members of their own team. Scaramucci’s goading of Priebus came as Trump continued to fume about his attorney general. Trump has been critical of Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Justice Department inves- tigation into whether the president’s campaign had anything to do with Russian interference in the election. “It hasn’t been my best week ... for my relationship with the president,” Sessions acknowledged. He said he would stay in his post and fight for Trump’s agenda “as long as he sees that as appropriate.” AP Photo/Cliff Owen Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday. pared-down health care bill late Thursday that he hoped would keep alive Repub- lican ambitions to repeal “Obamacare.” “It’s time to turn the page,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York. “We are not cele- brating. We are relieved.” McConnell, R-Ky., had called his measure the Health Care Freedom Act. It was not intended to become law, but to open a path for a House-Senate conference committee to try to work out comprehensive legislation Congress could pass and send to Trump. The measure would have repealed the unpop- ular Affordable Care Act requiring most people to have health insurance or risk a fine from the IRS. A similar requirement on larger employers would be suspended for eight years. Additionally it would have denied funding to Planned Parenthood for a year, and suspended for three years a tax on medical device manufacturers. States could seek waivers from consumer protections in the Obama-era law, and indi- viduals could increase the amount they contribute to tax-sheltered health savings accounts for medical expenses. Ryan, R-Wis., seemingly opened a path for McConnell earlier Thursday evening by signaling a willingness to negotiate a more compre- hensive bill with the Senate. Some Republican senators had been concerned that the House would simply pass the “skinny bill” and send it to Trump. That would have sent a shock wave through health insurance markets, spiking premiums. Ryan sent senators a statement saying that if “moving forward” requires talks with the Senate, the House would be “willing” to do so. But shortly afterward, his words received varied responses from three GOP senators who’d insisted on a clear commitment from Ryan. It was not imme- diately clear whether the maneuver would succeed. “Not sufficient,” said McCain, who returned to the Capitol Tuesday to provide a pivotal vote that allowed the Senate to begin debating the health care bill, a paramount priority for Trump and the GOP. The 80-year-old McCain had been home in Arizona trying to decide on treatment options for brain cancer. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., initially said “not yet” when asked if he was ready to vote for the scaled- back Senate bill. But later, he told reporters that Ryan had assured him and others in a phone conversation that the House would hold talks with the Senate. “I feel comfortable personally. I know Paul; he’s a man of his word,” said Graham. F RIDAY A FTERNOON & E VENING ABC NBC CBS FOX 12 PM 12:30 1 PM (11) KFFX KPTV (19) KEPR KOIN (25) KNDU KGW (42) KVEW KATU Paid Name PBS Bold & B.

Wild K. "Alaska: Hero's Journey" 2 PM “Let’s see how every- thing turns out here, guys,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told reporters. The convoluted devel- opments played out as a divided Senate debated legislation to repeal and replace the Obama-era law. With Democrats unanimously opposed, the slender 52-48 GOP majority was divided among itself over what it could agree to. After a comprehensive bill failed on the Senate floor, and a straight-up repeal failed too, McCon- nell and his top lieutenants turned toward a lowest-com- mon-denominator solution known as “skinny repeal.” It would have been the ticket to negotiations with the House, which passed its own legislation in May. But that strategy caused consternation among GOP senators after rumors began to surface that the House might just pass the “skinny bill,” call it a day and move on to other issues like tax reform after frittering away the first six months of Trump’s presidency on unsuccessful efforts over health care. Ryan responded not long after with a discursive and far from definitive statement that blamed the Senate for being unable to pass anything, but said, “if moving forward requires a conference committee, that is something the House is willing to do.” “The reality, however, is that repealing and replacing Obamacare still ultimately requires the Senate to produce 51 votes for an actual plan,” he said. But leaders encountered problems. The Senate parliamentarian advised that the waiver language violated chamber rules, meaning Democrats could block it. Yet the scenario at hand, with senators trying to pass something while hoping it does not clear the House or become law, was highly unusual. 2:30 Two and Mike & a Half Molly Judy Judy Judge Judge Judy Judy Dr. Phil KOIN 6 News (N) The Wendy E.DeGeneres Ben Williams Show Affleck, Ruby Rose Ellen DeGeneres KGW News (N) The Rachael Ray This This Show Bobby Flay Minute Minute Afternoon Live KATU News (N) Arthur Wild K.
