It would be easy to stop the government shutdown and open SNAP and WIC to those actually deserving it, but the AOTW Chuck Schumer won’t let it happen. He can’t even cook a cheeseburger right, much less run the Senate.
Senators will vote again on the two stopgap measures as soon as Friday. But with no votes flipping since last week, there’s no sign that they are close to breaking the impasse.
Instead, Republicans believe they were handed a new political gift: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s suggestion that the shutdown is getting better politically “every day” for Democrats.
“He says every day gets better for us. … He’s not talking about the American people,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters shortly before Thursday’s votes.
Barrasso and Senate Majority Leader John Thune both spoke on the floor Thursday morning with signs that featured Schumer’s remarks, which were made during an interview with Punchbowl News. Several other GOP senators and the White House weighed in on the comments Thursday.
“No matter what Chuck Schumer thinks, Americans struggling is not good, and the Democrats must stop inflicting this pain on them and reopen the government now,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement.
All because he wants to give money to the illegals, what an asshole.
