Make no mistake: When the history of this Trump government shutdown is written, it will assign blame where it belongs.
To the convicted felon and twice impeached Oval Office occupant who has six bankruptcies in his financial resume, including a casino.
And the House Speaker Christian Hypocrite who could not open a law school for numerous unflattering reasons who has kept House members at home for now three weeks rather than negotiate with Democrats on the fiscal showdown and hold a vote with should have been sworn in by now Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva on the release of the Epstein files.
As Senator Ruben Gallego put so well in a recent social media post:
“Trump and GOP protecting pedos and cutting healthcare for 24 million Americans. That is a hell of a plan for the 2025 and 2026 elections.”
A rightfully incensed Representative-Elect Grijalva has been making her case to be immediately sworn in on cable news and the below press statement:
“Canceling votes to remain in recess while the government is shut down is an abject failure of leadership. Republicans should be ashamed. I demand to be sworn in immediately. There is no reason to delay my swearing-in and it begs the question of their motivation in doing so. My district needs a voice in Congress, my office needs to be able to serve our constituents, and the American people need their government open. Republicans must return from their vacation, stop hiding from the public, and do their job.”
Grijalva is right.
Republicans should be ashamed.
But their power hungry leadership has none so no one should be surprised.
Representative Yassamin Ansari called Johnson keeping House Republicans home for another week “Absurd and outrageous” during the Trump Shutdown that is “Exacerbating the health care crisis” of Trump, Johnson, and Congressional Republicans making.
Ansari called on Republicans to come back and negotiate an end to the their health care crisis and prevent “50,000 people from dying and protect 17 million people from getting kicked off Medicaid.”
She also called on them to stop the Trump “cover up” of the Epstein files and swear in Grijalva so she could be the 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein material.
She concluded by pointing out that Trump and Republicans are:
“Complicit in killing Americans, jacking up health care prices, and protecting the most rich and powerful men who were part of perpetrating the most heinous, disgusting, crimes that are in the Epstein files that this Administration is covering up.”
Democrats like Ansari, Grijalva, Stanton, Kelly, and Gallego are ready, willing, and able to work with Republicans to protect Americans health care and reopen the government.
Check out this joint video by Senators Kelly and Gallego where they call for Republicans to work with them to avoid the health care disaster that is coming if they do not act.
Republicans need to show up and do their jobs by serving the people instead of bending the knee to the American Duce Wannabe who bankrupted a casino and a Christian Hypocrite Speaker who has no problem of breaking the commandment on bearing false witness and thou shall not murder.
