In a series of contentious interviews on Thursday’s network morning shows, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was forced to debate with anchors about whether President Trump’s tax plan was just “tax cuts for the rich” and even asked to swear an oath that the reform proposal would be revenue neutral.

His appearance on NBC’s Today began with co-host Savannah Guthrie repeating the liberal talking point multiple times: “Would you acknowledge that the reform plan you have laid out does the exact opposite? In fact, it is a dramatic cut in taxes for the wealthy....But it does cut taxes for the wealthy, right?...Can you give me an example of a wealthy individual or corporation whose taxes will go up under what you’ve proposed?”
