Even the clowns in The House are not as embarrassing as the Senate. Truly pathetic.

Even NBC Knows It's the Schumer Shutdown and That Democrats Own It

Matt Margolis 

 

Even NBC’s Meet the Press couldn’t ignore the Democrats’ stunning hypocrisy over the government shutdown fight—and Hakeem Jeffries found himself on the defensive when Kristen Welker pressed him about it.

 

On Sunday morning, Welker challenged the House minority leader over his repeated claims that the current standoff is a “Republican shutdown,” pointing out that it’s Democratic senators—not Republicans—who are holding up the vote on a clean continuing resolution that would keep the government open. 

 

“But let me ask you,” Welker began, “because you say this is a Republican shutdown. But it’s Democratic senators who are withholding their votes on what is called a clean resolution. That means no strings attached, which is something, quite frankly, Leader, that you and other Democrats have advocated for in the past.”

 

She then rolled a clip showing leading Democrats — including Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Jeffries himself — declaring in past years that it was wrong to use a government shutdown as leverage for partisan demands.

 

For example, back in September 2023, Nancy Pelosi said, “You do not use the threat of shutting down government to try to advance your policy agenda.”

That, of course, is exactly what Democrats have done.

 

“First thing that the House has to do is pass a clean, six-week CR,” said then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

 

Which is exactly what Republicans voted to do.

 

But the best part was that Welker included a clip of Hakeem Jeffries himself, back in November 2023, saying, “A continuing resolution that is at the fiscal year 2023 levels is the only way forward.”

 

After the montage, Welker pressed Jeffries again: “Why not fund the government and debate extending Obamacare tax credits after the fact? They don’t expire till the end of the year.”

 

The question went straight to the core of the Democrats’ strategy— holding up a straightforward, short-term funding bill until they can stuff it with billions in new Obamacare subsidies and other progressive wish-list items.The disconnect between their past moralizing and their current behavior is glaring. What we’re witnessing isn’t leadership; it’s the purest form of hypocrisy. The Schumer Shutdown perfectly captures everything wrong with the modern Democratic Party’s approach to governing—rules for thee, never for me.
