Trump and Musk blew up the bipartisan deal to prevent a government shutdown before Christmas, now we've got Republicans eating their own and Hannity trying to tell us a government shutdown isn't really that bad.
GOP Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley made an appearance on Sean Hannity's show on Fox this Wednesday, and here's the spin they're tying to put on this debacle and the damage Trump, Musk and Republicans are going to inflict on our economy before Trump even takes office.
They know full well Trump plans to blow up the deficit with more massive tax cuts as soon as he takes office, which will mean the debt ceiling will need to be raised, and they're trying to pin the need to raise it next year. on Biden.
Hawley also attacked GOP leadership for negotiating in good faith with Democrats, pretending that's not how government is supposed to work when you've got a divided Congress and narrow margins in the House.
HANNITY: You know, I'm looking at this monstrosity. I went through all a lot of these provisions, you know, 1550 pages. Nobody had time to read it. It's all because they don't want to do their job and pass budgets by October 1st, which is the deadline, and it's no surprise.
We find ourselves in this position, and if I'm Donald Trump, I don't want that debt ceiling during my term. This is Joe Biden's debt ceiling raise. It, it shouldn't be Donald Trump's.
