For weeks, Democrats have been claiming that
Republicans are to blame for both the government shutdown and for potentially higher
Obamacare premiums.
Last night, one of their own
admitted what even some in the legacy media have
admitted: Democrats’ narrative is a lie.
In a NewsNation town hall,
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman ripped his own party,
admitting that “Shutting down the government is really what the Democratic
Party wants to do.” He also admitted that Obamacare subsidies were designed by Democrats to
expire.
Fetterman: “That’s why
shutting the government is really what the Democratic Party wants to do … It’s
the wrong thing for the country in a period of chaos. I refuse to vote to shut
our government down … I would love to have a conversation about extending the
tax credits for healthcare. Absolutely. But I would remind everybody, too: this
was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year. This is
not something taken from, by the Republicans. They were designed to expire.”
Just as embarrassing for
Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, as their shutdown drags
into its 16th day – which according to Schumer, “every day gets better for
us” – it’s doing nothing to shore up their miserable support
from their base:
Democrats want the
government to be shut down, and they are responsible for the expiration of
Obamacare subsidies. That’s not a Republican talking point. That’s what one of
their own just admitted.
