Stephen Miller Spots a First in This ‘Tough Poll for Democrats’ on the Schumer Shutdown – Twitchy

The Democrats, with some media assistance of course, continue to try and deny that the federal government shutdown that we’re now a few hours into is because Chuck Schumer and other Dem leadership is demanding funding for health care benefits for the people they care most about: Illegal aliens. 

Some Democrats are denying that to be the case, but Rep. Maxine Waters basically came right out and admitted it when being questioned by a reporter yesterday: 

🚨 WOW! Rep. Maxine Waters *LOSES IT* after realizing she was TRICKED into admitting Democrats are shutting down the government due to no healthcare for illegals.

Q: Are Dems demanding healthcare for illegal aliens?

Meanwhile, the Schumer shutdown went into effect at midnight.

The DNC chair is attempting to blame Republicans, hoping nobody knows any other details about what’s really going on: 

I mean, no, they literally can’t because you guys are blocking the continuing resolution in the Senate.

Ken needs a civics lesson, or maybe he’s just hoping everybody else does.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller spotted a first in this while also sharing a New York Times poll that the Democrats won’t like:

The Democrats do have their “priorities.” And it IS the “Schumer shutdown”:

The Democrat numbers on immigration issues are terrible but they just can’t quit on their most cherished demographic.

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda and domestic insanity, including the Schumer shutdown.
