We’ve all but begged Alyssa to read more about politics if she is going to insist on being an ‘activist.’ We’re at a point where we almost feel bad for making fun of her … almost.
Like this tweet from last night:
We’re one of the richest countries in the world.
Clean #DreamActNow AND fund #CHIP.
Republicans control the Senate, the House and oval office. If there’s a shutdown it is because the @GOP refused the bi-partisan compromise bill. #RepublicanShutDown#TrumpShutDown
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) January 19, 2018
Republicans want to fund CHIP and have been trying TO FUND CHIP for months. And sorry, holding CHIP hostage for amnesty is the OPPOSITE of a clean bill.
Oh, and House Republicans signed a bipartisan bill LAST NIGHT, so either Alyssa is sharing misleading information on purpose OR she just doesn’t really understand what she’s talking about and wants to hop on the anti-Trump bandwagon for attention.
We’re thinking the latter because just a few days ago Alyssa was begging Democrats to shut down the government:
Dear Democrats,
I get it. We must try to avoid a government shut down. But hear me out — what happens this week will reflect who we are as a country. So if the Republican budget plan does not include funding for these fundamental issues then you must… #ShutItDown.

She wrote this long, passionate letter in several tweets about why the Democrats should #shutitdown … it was pretty sad.
But not as sad as her so obviously flip-flopping two days later and blaming the Republicans for shutting it down and pretending they’re monsters for not giving into DACA; not to mention the CHIP claim is just damn stupid.
Is there an actual human being who gets his or her political information or who has had their political ideals influenced by @Alyssa_Milano? I’d love to hear from you. I won’t be rude, if you won’t. Just curious as to why someone would think she’s qualified to be changing minds.

Not it.
BREAKING: Senior Democratic aide tells NBC News that Democrats have enough votes to block the spending bill in the Senate and prevent Republicans from keeping the government up and running

Oops.
If they have as much control as you pretend, then why would they need to be bi-partisan at all?

Umm … because TRUMP!
Ask your @TheDemocrats why they hate the #Dreamers so much. And learn math: 60 votes required in the Senate means the Dems control the #DemocratShutdown https://t.co/asXXnlmJ5T

No one told Alyssa there would be math.
And fair point, why didn’t Democrats do something about DREAMERS when they had a super majority in 2010? Oh, that’s right, they were too busy destroying healthcare, our bad.

The GOP has passed a bill that keeps the govt running and funds CHiP for the next 5 years! Democrats want to shut down the govt to protect those who are not even citizens! They care more for votes than they do for the country! And u should be mute until u actually pay ur taxes

Tough crowd, eh Alyssa?
Maybe she should just stick to making commercials for Atkins.
