During the presser on the “Schumer Shutdown” CNN’s Jim Acosta tried to get smart with White House Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mick Mulvaney.
Jim Acosta: At the comments beginning this you said it was the Schumer shutdown. How could it be the Schumer Shutdown when Republicans control the White House, the House and the Senate?
Mick Mulvaney: Come on. You know the answer to that as well as anybody. I have to laugh when people say that. ‘Oh we control the House, the Senate, the White House, why can’t you get this done?’ You know as well as anybody that it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass an appropriations bill. Right? You know that?
Jim Acosta: I know that.
Mick Mulvaney: So when you only have 51 votes in the senate you have to have Democrat support in order to keep the government to fund the government. So that’s the answer to your question.
Blog Author's Comments: With CNN and Acosta in the mix the laughs just keep coming and make the other "journalists" look more intelligent than they are. Why is he still there? Why has he not been booted from the White House pressers and briefings, along with all other CNN staff? The only reason Acosta is in attendance is because he is doing exactly what his supervisors at CNN want him to do. Yet, he continually makes a fool of himself.
The Democrats want to shut down the government or pretend that it is, because they have nothing else to offer as a viable political party. The hope is that their Democrat and liberal base will have even more hatred for the Republican Party and President Donald Trump.
CNN desires that Acosta will set off or trigger some White House staffer to overreact. But Mick Mulvaney was not bothered at all by the well-known liberal Jim Acosta. So-called journalists like him have absolutely no shame. They're dangerous ideologues, true believers if you will, who have replaced all rational thought, all facts and logic, with blind faith in the failed dogma of liberalism.
