David Axelrod: Jonathan Gruber Is ‘Stupid’

NBC political analyst and former Obama advisor David Axelrod had some harsh words for MIT economist Jonathan Gruber this morning.

Axelrod tweeted:

As one who worked hard to make ACA and its benefits clear, let me say: if you looked up "stupid" in dictionary, you'd find Gruber's picture.

Gruber has become nationally-known for having declared in 2013 that the Affordable Care Act only passed through Congress because of a “lack of transparency” and “the stupidity of the American voter.”
