“If you listened to House Republicans on Wednesday, Zohran Mamdani shut down the federal government,” Punchbowl News
reports.

“House Republican leadership continually blamed the funding impasse on Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York. It’s the newest GOP talking point with the citywide election less than a week away.”

“This is no more true than when Republicans blamed the continuing shutdown on the recent ‘No Kings’ rally. But they’re running with it.”

1. Sounds like they've taken the "How stupid can you get?" challenge

4. Or "How stupid do you think your voters are"?

Republican voters always come through.

2. But yet . . . . the same Republicans are not calling for THEIR party's candidate,

Curtis Sliwa, to be elected Mayor, not Andrew Cuomo.

7. I'm just waiting for them to blame the shutdown on Obama

. Knowing how stupid MAGA is they would definitely believe it. I'm surprised they haven't blamed it on Obama yet.
