Last night’s CNN spectacle featuring Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders was merely a frantic attempt to distract from the harsh truth of the Democrat Shutdown. It’s clear: Chuck Schumer and his allies — under instructions from the Radical Left factions dominating the party — have intentionally closed the government to push their socialist agenda, harming hardworking Americans in the process.
President Trump has taken firm steps to guarantee that service members receive their pay and that vital nutrition programs for underprivileged women and children stay funded. In contrast, reckless Democrats are threatening legal action instead of fulfilling their responsibilities.
Their hypocrisy is astounding, especially while workers go unpaid and essential services are halted — last night’s show only highlighted the Democrats’ contradictions.
Democrats can’t reconcile their previous objections to shutting down the government.
- Crazy Bernie failed to respond when questioned about why he once labeled a government shutdown as “a serious and dangerous action that we must do everything possible to prevent,” and stumbled when challenged on Chuck Schumer’s glaring hypocrisy.
Democrats seem solely focused on blaming Trump.
- Crazy Bernie reacted predictably when a bartender shared her concerns about losing her dream home due to the Democrat Shutdown affecting her USDA home loan processing.
- Ocasio-Cortez informed a TSA employee — an essential worker uncertain about her next paycheck — that “the best thing that we can do is to re-open the government.” However, she neglected to mention that it’s only the Democrats who can make that happen — and they’ve failed to do so repeatedly.
Democrats cannot justify why they are withholding government funding — nor can they propose any solutions to the chaos they’ve caused.
- The duo almost admitted they have no clear demand while refusing to authorize funding for essential government services.
- When an air traffic controller questioned how they expected to afford food during a payday-less period, Ocasio-Cortez vented but provided no substantial comments.
Democrats appear to be completely out of touch.
- Crazy Bernie described ICE operations that remove dangerous criminals from American streets as “a movement toward authoritarianism.”
