Senate Republicans are mocking Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) for lying about the shutdown, which Democrats continued for well over a month, leading to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
“Families are going hungry, federal workers are missing paychecks, & Americans are being stranded in airports. This chaos is Republicans’ making,” Hirono bizarrely declared on Wednesday.
“They insisted on spiking health care costs instead of prioritizing affordability & now Americans are paying the price. Literally,” she added, making no mention of the absurd partisan demands her party leaders threw out, including $1.5 trillion in spending.
“Senator Hirono voted 15 times against reopening the government, which includes SNAP funding and pay for air traffic controllers,” the Senate Republicans’ official X account responded, laying out the facts.
