The Democratic Party’s ill-advised shutdown of the federal government continues to backfire spectacularly, with the latest humiliation occurring on Fox News.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Schumer Shutdown took effect at 12:01 am on Wednesday after two measures to avert the government shutdown failed in the Senate.
The measures needed 60 votes to pass. The GOP-backed measure failed to pass in a 55-45 vote – Rand Paul voted with the Democrats.
The Democrat Party and Paul decided to put the health care of illegal aliens and more garbage ahead of keeping the government running.
On Thursday, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) appeared on Fox and Friends to attempt to gaslight the audience into believing that Democrats really do not want to give health care to illegals.
“I haven’t heard anybody in my party saying illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance market!” Shaheen claimed.
But Fox and Friends co-host Lawrence Jones had an ace up his sleeve: he had footage of several prominent Democrats saying the exact opposite.
“I’m so glad you said that,” Jones replied. “Actually, I have some tape of your Democratic Party members saying this on the debate stage.”
“Let’s play the clip.”
Footage then emerges from a June 2019 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate where EVERY candidate raised their hand when moderator Savannah Guthrie asked if their health care plans would cover illegal aliens.

“That’s literally every member of your party, from moderate to more progressive, that have said that (illegals should get health care),” Jones explained.
Yet another Democrat narrative blown up on the spot. Well played by Lawrence Jones.
