Elizabeth Warren Jokes About Wanting to 'Cut Open' Republican 'Bodies'

April 28, 2017

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) joked last week that she hoped Republicans donated their bodies to science so she could "cut them open" when they died.

"I hope they leave their bodies to science. I would like to cut them open," Warren said during an event in Chicago on Saturday.

Warren was discussing the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare and seemed to suggest their position on healthcare was unfathomable.

"God, what planet do they live on?" Warren asked, before sharing her wish to cut open their bodies.

She was visibly bothered by the argument from "a lot of people" that the Republican plan was "not brutal enough for a big chunk of the Republican party."

Warren described the Republican plan as benefitting the wealthy at the expense of others. She argued that the American Health Care Act, if passed, would be "knocking 24  million people off health insurance and raising the costs for middle-class families so that you could produce a tax break for a handful of millionaires and billionaires."
