The U.S. Senate, on Wednesday, July 16, narrowly approved a rescission package being pushed by the Trump Administration. The 51-48 vote came down along party lines, with no Democrats voting "yes" and only two GOP senators voting "no": Maine's Susan Collins and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski. The package, which had already passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, includes steep cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) as well as to foreign aid. The CPB provides funds for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Conservative Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nevada) discussed the rescission package and his voting record during a Thursday morning, July 17 appearance on CNN. And things became awkward for Amodei when host John Berman brought "tax changes regarding gambling" that are included in the bill.

Amodei told Berman, "Absolutely right" but added, "except that was put in in the Senate. I did not vote for that. Nobody from Nevada in the House voted for that. So now, the question when it comes back is: how do we fix that?.... You shouldn't be taxed on income that wasn't really income, regardless of who you are." Berman, however, told the Nevada congressman, "But sorry, didn't you vote to pass this bill after it came back from the Senate?" Amodei told Berman, "I voted to pass it back…. but I wasn't going to kill the whole bill over something that we think we can fix. So, if your question is, do I support that provision? No." READ MORE: Jim Jordan will now have to answer questions under oath about wrestling team scandal However, Berman again reminded Amodei, "But you did vote to pass. It wasn't enough to keep you from passing the bill?" — to which Amodei responded, "Correct."
