Charlamagne Tha God presses Dems to end shutdown impasse: 'Stop playing politics'

Charlamagne Tha God presses Dems to end shutdown impasse: ‘Stop playing politics’
by Ashleigh Fields

Charlamagne Tha God urged Senate Democrats to reopen the government, citing citizens’ dire needs amid the federal shuttering.

The radio host said during a Wednesday segment of “The Breakfast Club” that the party needs to abandon the fight to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies to ensure that federal workers receive pay.

“Dems, you had a great night last night,” Charlamagne said referring to the party’s Tuesday election wins.

“The premiums have already gone up. They are set for the year,” he added. “It’s time to move on. We appreciate the fight, the valiant effort, but come on, man, people got rent due. People got childcare to pay for, light bills, car notes.”

Also they are wrong, the premium will be calculated in January with the subsidies or lack thereof included. Right now we just have sticker shock estimates.

These influencers are some of the most ignorant individuals spouting opinions about things they are unable to comprehend to people just like themselves. His timing is very suspicious but you have to keep those payments coming.

Dems did propose a bill that would cleanly fund the government as the GOP wanted if the health care subsidies got funded for 1 year. The GOP shot it down. At this point the only side presenting ideas is our side

The republicans are in charge. If they want they can scrap the filibuster and ram anything they want through.

They won’t because now they’re afraid of losing.
