MSNBC’s Ruhle: Republicans Want to Cut Funds to ‘Children With Cancer’ #Political
Stephanie Ruhle took shots at Republicans in their Congressional struggle between a government shutdown and raising spending during her segment on Thursday during The 11th Hour. Claiming their tactics of running the government like a business as incomplete, Ruhle made digs towards the party’s choice in cutting programs. Though David Drucker provided pushback explaining the eventual need for government cuts, Ruhle replied with petty insinuations, including the cartoonish claim they’re fine with kids dying of cancer.
As the news focuses on the potential of another government shutdown, the blame has been thrown especially at the Republican Party. Yet Drucker points out the impossible balance of cutting the Government's spending in relation to constituent sentiments:
It’s because voters don't want to touch spending. They want to cut spending that goes to other people, but they don't think it's necessary. And those other people, Stephanie, want to cut spending that goes to other people that they don't think is necessary. And you have 435 members of congress plus the 100 senators, and they all have constituents, they were all elected, they all feel like they have whatever mandate they feel they have to continue spending the money that they either promised to spend, not cut the money they said they wouldn’t cut(...)
Though Drucker provided a fairer view of the situation, Stephanie did not leave without just one more complaint against the Republican Party.
As discussed previously, Ruhle complained about the cut from pediatric cancer research, one of many changes made following the first failed bill. Yet following Drucker’s explanation, which Ruhle seemed to ignore entirely, she finished her segment with an unfair conclusion for the Republicans:
DRUCKER: We have entitlement programs that keep going up every single year on a formula, and eventually, a president is going to go on the air one day and say, “Unless we make emergency cuts, nobody gets checks next week.” But until the American people are willing to embrace cuts rather than wait for that day, nothing will happen.
RUHLE: So whose program doesn’t get protected? children with cancer, children with cancer. I guess they don’t vote.
With this, Ruhle headed for the break, leaving viewers with an incomplete understanding, yet again, as to what the real conversation referred to, and to what part the Republican Party played in it.
