CAMBRIDGE — Soaring rhetoric touching on themes of inequality and corporate private sector political clout dominated Thursday's "Trump Tax Town Hall" event featuring House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, part of the Democratic Party's push to make the GOP's recent tax overhaul a wedge issue ahead of this fall's midterm elections.
"Think of it this way — there's a dark cloud hanging over the Capitol — it's the GOP tax scam bill," Pelosi said during her opening remarks. "It's a total rip-off on the American people."
