As the defunding of NPR and PBS becomes a reality -- thank goodness! -- The Left continues to wail and gnash its teeth because its grift is ending.
One of those is Democratic Senator Patty Murray, who thinks Republicans (who have a majority in the House and Senate) voting to defund public broadcasting is somehow an edict from President Trump and Russ Vought.
Senator Patty Murray (@PattyMurray) ~ BREAKING: At 2 AM, Republicans just voted to defund public broadcasting and lifesaving aid because Trump told them to—they wouldn’t even protect rural radio or emergency alerts. Congress should decide what we spend and what we cut—not Trump and not Russ Vought. I voted NO.
What she means is: "Republicans voted in a way I don't like."
Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) ~ {Replying to @PattyMurray} Emergency Alerts fall under FEMA and weren’t cut.
So. she's lying, too.
Of course, she's lying.
Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) ~ {Replying to @PattyMurray} We can protect emergency alerts without funding woke propaganda. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yeah, about needing NPR for emergency alerts:
L A R R Y (@LarryOConnor) ~ They all keep saying this, but they never show one concrete example. It should be pretty easy. Meanwhile, @theMRC has documented the flash floods in Texas where NPR provided no information and instead piped in their DC-based national program.
Ooof ... THAT is a DEVASTATING blow to the Democrat narrative!
𝔼𝕟𝕕 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕋𝔻𝕊 𝕃𝕦𝕟𝕒𝕔𝕪 (@DerangedLibs2) ~ {Replying to @PattyMurray} Um, Congress literally VOTED to pass these cuts. Neither Russ Vought or President Trump were in the room.
You'd think a Senator would know how this works.
Well, she's a lying dumbsh!t.
Doug Wagner (@DougWagner) ~ {Replying to @PattyMurray} My God, you're an idiot. Rural radio is just fine and emergency alerts will continue to go on just as they always have. You're just upset because taxpayer funds will no longer go to the looney left.
That's all this is about.
Reeve Swainston, Esq. (@ReeveSwainston) ~ {Replying to @PattyMurray} Those “rural people” aren’t as ignorant as you claim ... just like black people really DO know how to get IDs. You’re all such vile bigots.
gurloes (@gurloes_monk) ~ {Replying to @PattyMurray} As a resident of two of the most rural areas in the US, I can tell you NOBODY relies on PBS or NPR for anything. Nothing. Not emergency notifications. And certainly not unbiased information. Let their brainwashed listeners & donors support them.
The woke rich Leftists who love NPR and PBS can open their wallets.
Media have nothing but contempt for rural Americans, right up until it comes to our tax money. Then they love us.
Well, rural America isn't having any of this anymore.
