🚨🚨🚨BOOM: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.”
“Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted.
“Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?
Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added.
Let’s get this straight:
The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals.
So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask
mega billionaires to pay more.
The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change.
Now, McCarthy is trying to shift blame to DEMOCRATS.
We know who’s FAULT this.

President Trump called India "filthy."
It's not how you talk about friends—and it's not how you solve global challenges like climate change.
@KamalaHarris and I deeply value our partnership—and will put respect back at the center of our foreign policy. https://t.co/TKcyZiNwY6
Mitch McConnell has the Senate working through the weekend right now—not to provide COVID-19 relief to people who need it, but to jam through a Supreme Court confirmation. This is so out of touch.
“My boyfriend got points just for driving while I was shamed for asking about my options.” Fake clinics like these do everyone a disservice by deceiving and shaming people who need factual information. Should Minnesota really be promoting them?

A slight change of tone from the president for one night doesn’t cover up the lies he told. It doesn’t change the fact that over 220,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 on his watch.
We can’t take another four years of Donald Trump’s failed leadership.
