You’re going to see a lot of BS in the media as the government gets closer and closer to shutting down because the Democrats want to hold Americans hostage so they can pass amnesty. Dems will blame evil Republicans for being racist and refusing to allow these poor children to stay in this country (many of whom are no longer really children), and they’ll pretend they’re great and noble for shutting down healthcare for other children while blaming the GOP for making them do it.
Don’t be fooled.
Democrats own this shutdown and counselor to Rep. Paul Ryan, Brendan Buck, laid out a series of truth-bombs that prove this truly is a #SchumerShutdown:
Now that the House has voted to keep the government open, excuse me as I take a minute to set some things straight about a potential shutdown and the whole blame game thing.

Yes, that’s right, the House voted on a BIPARTISAN BILL to keep the government open.
Your move, Senate Dems.
While it is a *very* smart take to point out Rs have a majority in the House and Senate, it is also purposefully obtuse to ignore that in the Senate a minority can filibuster and block any legislation.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
And that they need 60 votes for a CR.
In fact, that is what Democrats suggest they intend to do: require 60 votes to keep the government open and to fund children’s health insurance.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
Yup.
What should be pretty obvious at this point is Democrats are TRYING to shut down the government. That, quite clearly, is their stated strategy.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
Of course, they want to shut it down, then they can scream about how it’s Trump’s fault for shutting it down and hang it around the necks of the GOP, all while crying about how they’re fighting for the little guy in America.
And their base will eat it up.
This is not a on-one-hand-but-on-the-other situation. They’re not even hiding it. Democrats are openly saying they are using the filibuster to shut down the government to try to get something entirely unrelated.

To push amnesty.
My dear friends at the pod literally have a whip list urging Democrat Senators to shut down the government over DACA. pic.twitter.com/pYzuyLT8hk

If you needed proof that the Democrats are holding the American government and her people hostage to push their agenda, there it is.
I stress that Democrats are asking for something entirely unrelated. Because, to be clear, Democrats have no underlying objection to the CR or CHIP. They are, quite openly, voting ‘no' in an attempt to force action on something else.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
They are quite openly playing politics with peoples’ lives.
We are not jamming anything on Democrats they don’t support. We’re just saying keep the government open and fund children’s health insurance while we continue to work out a deal on DACA.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
Pretty simple.
But no, shut it down, they say.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
Sad.
As Chuck Schumer described this tactic in 2013, it’s “governmental chaos.”
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
Hypocrites are gonna hypocrite.
Yet, now they are bragging about it to their base.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
And thumping their chests while claiming the GOP is holding children’s healthcare hostage.
It’s repugnant.
Tomes have been written about the shift of the Republican party under 8 yrs of Obama. Yet it has taken less than a year of a new president for Democrat's base to say you’re a traitor unless you shut down the government… and for Senators to go right along.
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
Which tells us what? They stand for nothing.
Right now, Senator Schumer is rallying his members to block a bill to keep the government open – all to extort something unrelated.

#SchumberShutdown
But yes, or course, who is to blame?
— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 19, 2018
We know, we know!
