WASHINGTON — Confronted Sunday by his Republican counterpart over his harsh rhetoric, Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez offered no apologies for claiming that GOPers “don’t give a s–t about the people.”

“I meet people who are worried to death because this Republican repeal bill is not a health care bill. It’s a tax cut bill for the mega-wealthy, masquerading as a health care bill,” Perez told Ronna Romney McDaniel during a joint appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“People will die,” he added.

McDaniel said cussing and such “doesn’t bring people to our party. We have to have reasonable discussions. Have a dialogue, be respectful of each other. But, share our opinions of what the best path is to get to the same place we both want to go, which is a better life for our kids, for our grandkids.”

Meanwhile, a former Bill and Hillary Clinton adviser and pollster said the Democratic Party has become too radicalized.

“I am for the Democratic Party to move back to the center,” Mark Penn told John Catsimatidis on Sunday on the “Cats Roundtable” radio show on 970 AM.

“The center is where America is,” Penn said. “To go further and further left, that would be the wrong direction … The working-class voter, particularly in the Midwest, disconnected from the Democratic Party.”

He added: “They felt left behind.”
