House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is learning the hard way that delivering canned talking points is a lot easier than actually backing them up with facts. And boy, was it painful to watch. In a scene that perfectly encapsulates the Democratic strategy—shout a bunch of baseless claims, hope nobody asks for proof, and then melt into incoherent babbling when they do—Jeffries completely fumbled when confronted with a simple question about Medicaid cuts.
Now, let’s set the stage. The House just took a big step forward in the budget reconciliation process, with Speaker Mike Johnson securing a 217-213 victory. A major win, no doubt. But according to Democrats, this means Republicans are hellbent on gutting Medicaid. That’s the line they’re pushing—scary, dramatic, and completely detached from reality.
So when The Daily Caller’s Andi Napier did the unthinkable (you know, actual journalism) and asked Jeffries to provide evidence that these cuts were happening, what did we get? A long-winded, rambling nothing-burger. His answer, boiled down, was: “The GOP is lying.” Oh, well, case closed then! Who needs facts when you can just accuse the other side of dishonesty and call it a day?
Let’s be real—if anyone is an expert in lying, it’s the Democrats. This is the same party that told us Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation,” that COVID definitely didn’t come from a lab, that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, and that Donald Trump colluded with Russia. (Spoiler: none of those things were true.) But sure, Hakeem, tell us more about how Republicans are the dishonest ones.
The real problem for Democrats is that they’re running on fumes. They have no coherent message and no serious plan to counter the Trump agenda—unless you count screaming about “threats to democracy” and clutching their pearls every time Trump sneezes. They’ve alienated working-class voters, Hispanics, and even some Black voters—once considered their most loyal base—by prioritizing woke nonsense and ignoring the actual issues that matter to everyday Americans. Inflation? Out of control. The border? Wide open. Crime? Surging. Biden’s solution? Mumble about “equity” and call anyone who complains a racist.
🚨 Hakeem Jeffries CONFRONTED on Medicaid Cut Claims 🚨
Daily Caller News Foundation Reporter @AndiNapier: “Republicans have been adamant that Medicaid will not be gutted by this budget resolution. Where is the proof that Medicaid will be gutted?”

Meanwhile, the media is in full panic mode, trying to convince Americans that they actually regret voting for Trump in 2016. They’re rolling out sketchy polls that show “buyer’s remorse” and acting like Trump’s support is crumbling. Funny how only the most left-leaning outlets seem to be finding these numbers, huh? When you actually go outside the liberal Twitter bubble and talk to real people, the opposite is happening. More and more Americans—especially those who took a chance on Biden—are realizing they got sold a lemon.
What’s most hilarious about all this is how Democrats and their media allies seem genuinely baffled about why things aren’t going their way. Maybe, just maybe, people are sick of being gaslit. Maybe they don’t want to hear politicians like Jeffries drone on about Republican “lies” while ignoring the mountain of dishonesty and incompetence coming from their own party. Maybe they actually care about putting food on the table, keeping their communities safe, and making sure their kids aren’t being indoctrinated by radicals in schools. Crazy thought, right?
So while Jeffries stumbles through another non-answer and Biden tries to remember where he is, Republicans are moving forward. The budget battle is far from over, but at least one side is serious about doing the work. The other? Well, they’re busy screaming into the void, hoping someone still believes them.
