COWARD! Ed Markey’s Reaction to Being Asked About Paying Our Troops Is EXACTLY Who the Dems Are (Watch) – Twitchy

If you ever want to see an old Democrat move REALLY FAST, just ask him (or her) about whether or not they support paying out troops while they keep our government shut down. We’re not sure we’ve ever seen Senator Ed Markey move SO FAST before …

Heh.

Watch this:

“Do you support our troops getting paid during the shutdown?!”

Senator Ed Markey panics — and DOESN’T answer the question before scurrying away.

“I’m not taking any salary during the shutdown!”

YIKES. pic.twitter.com/ezaES6K5L2

Keep in mind, Markey and his Democrat pals in the Senate just blocked legislation put forward by Republicans that would have paid our troops and federal employees. So really, Markey is in a bad place here because if he said he supports paying the troops, he should have voted differently.

If he says he does not, then he’s admitting that he is using American suffering as political leverage.

No wonder the old fart took off like he did.

Politicians are elected by the people and for the people. If you refuse to answer to the people, that person should be removed from their position.
They work for us! This means you answer our questions!!!

Like people in congress need their salaries😂 How’s those kickbacks and stock portfolios doing should have been the question.

Oooh, big deal. The wealthy senator isn’t taking pay. We’re willing to bet he’s not worried about being hungry …

When was the last time you saw one Democrat answer a question with any care, honesty or integrity? It looks more like a perp walk than a Senator.

Hubert Humphrey maybe?

Trump answers every question from anyone everyday.

Term Limits!
