Democrat Rep. Bynum Blames Republican ‘Poison Pill’ in CR, Can’t Name It—Votes for Shutdown Anyway – Twitchy

Oregon Representative Janelle Bynum (D) did not vote for the last CR the GOP  controlled House brought forward in mid-September because she claims it had a ‘poison pill’. She just doesn’t know what that poison pill was. 

Rep. Janelle Bynum can’t say why she voted to shut down the government.

BYNUM: “Any bill that [Republicans] have put forth…there’s always been a poison pill.”

C-SPAN: “What were the poison pills of the clean CR?”

She is just sure it was buried somewhere though.

How is she shifting blame by asking what r the “poison pills” (that she brought up btw) is…
Republicans told us what Democrats were demanding. So why is she being shifty… https://t.co/qSwO8Hvbl2 pic.twitter.com/bYqJHVVLST

That’s pretty accurate.

If this interview doesn’t prove to you that the Democrats are guilty of shutting down the government, then you have zero intelligence. https://t.co/ViF9CIms4m

Should Bynum be permitted to vote for anything? https://t.co/RwjTFso4O5

No.

Tons of intellectual dishonesty here and with the entire party. https://t.co/7yL5bwacxS

Here is what happens when you lie, and the media actually calls you out on it.😂 https://t.co/LGflqjz1kL

In a shocking display of media honesty.

Hey @RepBynum, you didn’t explain what the “poison pill” was in this CR. We’re waiting… https://t.co/OqKYWHtEnf

Simple question, right? She said Republicans put out bills with poison pills.
So, what were the poison pills? Hmm 🤔
She shifted instead of answering a question in her own wording.
Is anyone seeing this?!
Don’t let them bait you into rioting, looting, or worse. Just don’t. https://t.co/MdzcFN1cPJ

The Democrats have the ‘leverage’ of suffering people and they won’t give it up. 

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
