There is a lot of material for Democrats to use for ads, and Vice President JD Vance just offered quite the clip, which should be hung around the neck of every Republican like an albatross. Aside from everything Vance said in this clip being a lie, one part stands out as truthful for this sadistic administration: he promises more suffering for the American people. Yay for us!
“On the issue of the shutdown, there is a concern about 42 million people losing their SNAP benefits, of course, over this weekend,” a reporter said. “The administration has moved a lot of money around to pay troops, to pay federal law enforcement, and is telling Congress it can’t move money around to pay some of those benefits. Why not? Would there be some push perhaps in the next 48 hours to try to do that so Americans don’t go hungry?”
“Well, here’s the problem,” Vance said with a complete lack of self-awareness that he is part of the problem. “If you look, if you go back to previous government shutdowns, what has happened is that sometimes the president has tried to make the shutdown as painful as possible on the American people. I give the president of the United States great credit and the entire team for trying to make this as painless as possible.”
