Scott Jennings just made a FOOL out of 25-year-old Democrat wunderkind, David Hogg.
Hogg used his time on CNN to blame Republicans for the government shutdown, even accusing
@ScottJenningsKY of not caring about people in his home state on ACA subsidies.
He was silenced pretty quickly.
HOGG: โThe entire reason the government is not open right now is because Democrats refuse to be complicit in having millions of Americans, including 100,000 in Kentucky, youโre home state if Iโm remembering correctly Scott, that rely on ACA, that would see their premiums rise several dozen percent.โ
When Jennings finally jumped into the discussion, he came armed with the facts and Hogg didnโt stand a chance.
JENNINGS: โBut David, you would admit that the ACA was a Democrat legislation, yes?โ
โAnd you would admit that the subsidies that weโre talking about now were passed by Democrats, yes?โ
โAnd you would admit that the sunset provision in the subsidies, which comes up at the end of the year, was in place because of Democrats, yes?โ
โNow you want to make it a Republican problem. These are not the same issues.โ
โYou could open the government today and then you could negotiate with Republicans about ACA subsidies.โ
โAnd by the way, my suspicion is and you know this, there are probably and I know there are some House Republicans that would love to negotiate on it, but under duress, under a hostage taking situation, connecting disconnected issues.โ
โAnd now youโre throwing SNAP onto it. Youโre throwing all the federal workers who arenโt being paid onto it, all because of this fight that you wandered into, because of your wing of the Democratic Party.โ
โYOU ALL led to this SNAP crisis. You all led to this crisis of the government being closed and you donโt know how to get out of it!โ
