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 you\u2019ve lost your own cheerleaders in the press, it\u2019s a sure sign the shutdown strategy is backfiring spectacularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSenate 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,\u201d The Hill reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWednesday\u2019s vote marked the third time in two weeks that the House-passed continuing resolution failed to advance on the Senate floor \u2014 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 Tuesday\u2019s vote,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCongressional Democrats embrace government shutdown,\u201d The Washington Post adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSenate 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,\u201d the notoriously anti-GOP Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Senate rejected the legislation as Democrats are making good on their threat to close the government if President Donald Trump and Republicans won\u2019t 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,\u201d the AP continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The headlines have been brutal all the way around \u2013 both in lefty and righty media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
