Democrat Fails, Hypocrisy, and Lies

Democrats Humiliate Themselves on CNN Over Shutdown

Rapid Response

Last night, the Democrat Party’s socialist duo Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders talked in circles during a CNN town hall, and the audience wasn’t having it.

Attendees torched AOC and Sanders over Chuck Schumer’s failed leadership and hypocrisy, pointing out that he has “voted for continuing resolutions 13 times in the last four years [under Biden], but he's refusing to come to the table" now.

Even Kaitlan Collins called out Sanders for his past comments on government shutdowns — which, in his own words, are “a serious and dangerous action that we must do everything possible to prevent.”
 


 

AOC and Sanders spent the night rambling while Americans pay the price for the Democrat Shutdown:

  • AOC to a TSA employee left without pay: "What I believe the best thing that we can do is to reopen the government right now."
  • Sanders to a bartender who is now uncertain she can buy her dream home: "We're going to do everything that we can... but also, we have got to be cognizant that if Trump wins this fight..."

At a town hall, Senator John Fetterman admitted what Democrats won’t say out loud: the shutdown is what his party wants, and Obamacare subsidies were designed by Democrats to expire.

Democrats wanted the shutdown. They caused it, they designed their own policies to expire, and now Americans are footing the bill.
