SCHUMER SHUTDOWN 2.0: Did Mad Maxine Accidentally Admit The REAL Motivation Behind It?
The truth is hardly Maxine Waters' strong suit... but did it accidentally slip out in answering a journo?
Did Maxine forget that there are journos out there more interested in reporting the truth than in pushing Democrat agendas, and accidentally tip her hand to the wrong person?
The first part of Maxine’s answer is the usual fare. It began with a barb at a right-leaning journalist from Lindell TV, and continued with the well-worn talking points. She interrupted the question about whether Demcorats want to prioritize health care for illegals above keeping the government open to reframe it in a way that fits the party line.
‘We want to keep the government open and we want to work with the Republicans and have a bipartisan agreement to keep this government open and health care is at the top of our agenda.’
Of course, each and every word of that was a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’… unless you change the words to mean things they don’t actually say. For example, ‘bipartisan’ means, we get what we want and the GOP pounds sand.
Health care is understood, in her use of it, to mean exactly what ever Dem candidate for POTUS on the dias raised their hand for when asked if they supported health care for illegals. And so on.
If she’d stopped there, she might have been like every other Democrat talking point. But she always has more to say. Maybe the either/or framing of the question tripped her up. Maybe she got too worked up. But she lowered her guard enough to say something she wasn’t supposed to admit, just hours before three Democrats joined the GOP in passing the CR and then Democrats pretended like REPUBLICANS were the ones playing partisan games.
Notice the quesstion she is asked followed by her use of the word ‘all’. We’ll take a closer look at why she might have said that in a moment.
Q: Are Democrats demanding health care for Illegal Aliens?
Recall: the official position of Schumer ond the Democrats is that such an allegation is a damnable lie the Republicans have been telling about them. Why would they say that? Because according to US law, the only people who can be eligible for benefits are US citizens. As Speaker Johnson explained to Kaitlin Collins, changes to the law expressly forbidding such handouts have taken more than 2 million people off the rolls who never belonged there in the first place, according to US law as written.
The old standards had loopholes that clever partisans could exploit or simply cheat, straining the supply of benefits that so many Americans alredy rely on, a supply we are regularly told will become insolvent before many of us see our own retirement.
Here’s Maxine’s answer:
WATERS: Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We want to save lives. We want to make sure that health care is available to those who would die but [sic] having the help of their government.
Q: So your good with the government shutdown even if it means giving health care to people who aren’t Americans
WATERS: Well you keep– that’s what you’re pushing on. What you’re trying to do is you’re standing here and you’re trying to make me say that somehow we’re gonna put non-citizens over Americans. Quit it. Stop it. This is the kind of journalism we don’t need.
Q: No, I’m just asking —
WATERS: No you’re not. You’re being divisive. No. Pleae. You don’t need to ask that quesiton. You’re just trying to get controversy here. You’re not gonna get it from me. We want to save health care for ALL people. Thank-you.
Little does she realize she DID get ‘controversy’ from her.
Mad Maxine was working so hard at trying to defend against an imagined Americans vs. Illegal immigrants narrative that she missed the far more obvious question.
Are Dems willing to close the government over the fact that changes to the language in the Big Beautiful Bill have made it harder, if not impossible for duplicate names and ineligible recipients to eat from the public trough?
Why did she make such an obvious error?
The easiest explanation comes from their ongoing rhetorical war against ICE. They can’t come out and complain about law enforcement actually enforcing the law. They have to build a narrative about hwo it’s a problem for ALL Americans.
All is often the lie elected Dems use when they really mean Illegals but can’t speak plainly for obvious reasons.
She’s talking about the same group, but she’s supposed to pretend like no Democrats have any intention of violating the law in how these tax dollars are handed out. But she gets caught defending the wrong lie and gives the game away.
There may not be many journalists left who are willing and able to get politicians to admit to things they’d rather not say, but it’s the job they were hired to do, and kudos to Lindell TV and this jouro for getting that job done.
