From Denial to Admission: Democrats Expose Themselves for Intentionally Shutting Down the Government

WASHINGTON - Two weeks ago, House Republicans passed a clean, nonpartisan, responsible CR to keep the government open. President Trump and Republicans in Congress stand united behind this commonsense plan. House and Senate Democrats have rejected it numerous times, demanding an additional $1.5 trillion in new partisan spending, and now they are scrambling to explain away the fact that Americans are learning their bill funnels nearly $200 billion in taxpayer benefits to non-Americans.

This is what Chuck Schumer wants the American people to believe:

But Chuck Schumer is wrong:

Even some Democrats and their Mainstream Media allies are beginning to admit that they know this is true:

Reporter: "Are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens?" Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.): "Democrats are demanding healthcare for everybody."

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.): "The amount of money actually is going towards people who are undocumented is a small portion of the Medicaid cuts or the Affordable Care Act."

CNN's Jake Tapper to Leader Jeffries (D-N.Y.): "But what [Democrats] support does bring back funding for emergency Medicaid to hospitals, some of which does pay for undocumented immigrants and people who don't have health insurance."

Bloomberg's Erik Wasson: "To be clear the full $1.4T they want isn't to boost healthcare for undocumented. It's a tiny fraction of that…"

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.): "And if that means we got to shut this government down, so be it."

REMINDER: This is not a new position for Democrats:
