Senator Chris Murphy (and other Democrats/media) are now trying to blame the House for Schumer’s shutdown – Twitchy

This week brought with it some false attacks from Democrats and some of their media outlets.

You’re well aware of the left’s nervousness over President Trump’s remodeling of the East Wing and the construction of the ballroom. Hillary Clinton was among the Democrats who claimed Trump was sullying the sanctity of the White House, while hoping no one would remember her husband or what led to his impeachment.) But the new angle is an attempt to make people believe that the House of Representatives’ exit from session is the reason why the government remains closed:

And…here it is

It has been announced: The US House of Representatives will be out of session again next week

And…here it is. The Democrats immediately had another point to talk about BS that doesn’t even make sense to anyone who knows why the government stays closed and who’s blocking CR.

No, the US Senate can meet and vote to pass H.R. 5371 regardless of whether the House is in session, with the two chambers working independently according to the schedule. The House’s absence does not prevent the Senate from taking action on legislation. However, for the bill to become law and end the shutdown, it…

Murphy does nothing but lie.

I think it’s a good bet for them to believe their readers are stupid https://t.co/bJERDczM8R

Chris Murphy is what happens when a political career is built by repeating talking points rather than having salient policy ideas.

The Senator knows he voted against reopening the government and does not require the House to be in session to do so. https://t.co/FRbf5WjS2o

Unfortunately, many people choose to live in the alternative reality created for them by Democrats like Murphy that is in no way based on reality.

Editor’s note: Schumer close here. Instead of putting the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats imposed a government shutdown of health care for illegal immigrants. They own this.
