Earlier today at the White House, President Trump brought up his promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, saying, “I never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days. I have a long time.”

Tonight Anderson Cooper said that’s absolutely not true, showing a montage of the president on the campaign trail saying he wanted to “immediately” repeal and replace Obamacare.

And Trump tweeted this out back in February 2016:

We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare – and nobody can do that like me. We will save $’s and have much better healthcare!
