As Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and their far-left caucus insist on keeping the federal government shuttered, even the usually friendly liberal media is hammering them with brutal headlines. When youâve lost your own cheerleaders in the press, itâs a sure sign the shutdown strategy is backfiring spectacularly.
âSenate Democrats voted Wednesday to block a House-passed stopgap funding bill that would reopen the federal government until Nov. 21, but several Democrats broke with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and supported the measure,â The Hill reports.
âWednesdayâs vote marked the third time in two weeks that the House-passed continuing resolution failed to advance on the Senate floor â but it was the first time senators voted on the issue while the government is closed. The measure needed 60 votes to advance and failed 55-45, the same margin as Tuesdayâs vote,â the outlet added.
âCongressional Democrats embrace government shutdown,â The Washington Post adds.
âSenate Democrats have voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the government, putting it on a near certain path to a shutdown after midnight Wednesday for the first time in nearly seven years,â the notoriously anti-GOP Associated Press reported.
âThe Senate rejected the legislation as Democrats are making good on their threat to close the government if President Donald Trump and Republicans wonât accede to their health care demands. The 55-45 vote on a bill to extend federal funding for seven weeks fell short of the 60 needed to end a filibuster and pass the legislation,â the AP continued.
The headlines have been brutal all the way around â both in lefty and righty media:
Meanwhile, we have one Democrat admitting the shutdown is a tactic (cruelly being employed against the American people because his party is rife with clowns):
Whatâs with his eyebrows, anyway?
