...the question and quote.

… I asked our Capitol Hill reporter Pablo Manriquez to ask Reps. their opinion on the cost of the war adding to huge national debt.

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA): “OMG! Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us! Gas prices have gone up, fertilizer has gone up, you name it. And this dude, Dr. Jesus, is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you get health care. Fuck his ass!”


...not sure why anyone is stretching to interpret this as about anyone but the person (and party) spending our tax dollars on war and asking for billions more.

We have this platform to elevate the advocacy of Democrats fighting in those halls for the people. Budgets, appropriations... $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you get health care.

But you can't find your way to that point; sidestepped it to make this complaint? That's beyond my understanding.
