Surprise, Surprise…Dems Now Making New Move On Shutdown While Jeffries' Spin Gets Crushed On Live TV

Posted • November 5, 2025: It's beginning to look like the prediction Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made about the Democrats and the shutdown is right.

And "Republican healthcare crisis?" They're the ones who forced Obamacare down our throats. They're the ones who made it so the subsidies would expire. And if it was supposed to be so "affordable," why did they need subsidies to save it? It was a failure, and that's on them, as well, which they accidentally showed with this shutdown. The Democrats want to make this about him, as Hakeem Jeffries showed on CNN on Tuesday night, but even CNN wasn't going for the spin. This spin is deceitful in every way.

Hakeem Jeffries was left momentarily stunned on CNN after host Dana Bash fact-checked his claim in real time that Republicans “shut down” the government. The House Minority Leader wasn’t expecting the pushback and it showed. He got heated. (…)
