This is how you know the shutdown fight is going terribly for Boebert and MAGA — they’ve resorted to desperate stunts and propaganda videos to distract from the truth.
John,
While government employees go without paychecks, military families are lining up at food banks, and the shutdown causes massive travel disruptions—Lauren Boebert is throwing a fit because Denver International Airport is refusing to play a taxpayer-funded propaganda video from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem that blames Democrats for the government shutdown on airport TV’s:
But here’s the kicker: the videos themselves are illegal.
They are a blatant violation of the Hatch Act, a law that prohibits government officials to use taxpayer resources for partisan politics. It’s unethical and it’s fascist. This is the kind of propaganda tactics reminiscent of the Third Reich, not America.
This is how you know the shutdown fight is going terribly for Boebert and MAGA — they’ve resorted to desperate stunts and illegal propaganda videos to distract from the truth: the government is shut down because they’re holding your healthcare hostage.
They’re refusing to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that keep premiums affordable for working families — and blocking efforts to reverse Medicaid cuts that are already shuttering rural hospitals. Boebert isn’t fighting for Colorado — she’s fighting to raise healthcare costs and shut down hospitals in her own district.
It’s disgraceful. It’s unserious. And it’s exactly why Trisha Calvarese is running — to replace chaos with competence, propaganda with policy, and cruelty with compassion.
