Republican stunt BLOWS UP in their faces | Another Day

Republicans are the party in power, but. when it comes to fixing our country's. problems, they're totally powerless. This is just another day. For anyone who's been to an airport. recently, you may have noticed that. things feel a little bit different. >> Many travelers are suffering at the. airport today as security wait times. stretch longer than usual in part due to. a lack of staffing. TSA workers are. calling out. They are under pressure. from working without pay because of the. month-long partial government shutdown.

Yes, the constant joy and serenity that. each one of us feels when we're floating. through the paradise that is every. airport terminal will now last a little. longer thanks to the fight going on in. Washington. And it turns out there's. only one party to blame. >> TSA agents have missed a partial. payment. They just missed a full. payment. These are men and women who. don't make a lot of money. In these. places where this is happening, you're. seeing really long lines, whether. they're 1-hour, 3-to-4-hour lines at. airports. And I think if you stand in. that line, it's it's one thing, Maria, if you're by yourself, but if you're.

with some little kids or any kids for 3. or 4 hours, it's horrible. And so, you. can thank a Democrat who cares more. about making sure that the 15 million. people that they let into this country. under Joe Biden Wow, I'm not sure what's. going to last longer, these understaffed. security lines at our airports or. Republicans blaming Joe Biden for pretty. much everything. And let's just put the. whole blame game over DHS funding to the. side for a moment here. I'm having a. hard time wrapping my head around. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

being the guy complaining about wait. times in airports when he said stuff. like this. >> We want mini gyms. So, if you want to. walk through the airport and you have a. little bit of time and you want to crank. out a couple pull-ups or a couple. push-ups. Yeah, super weird how Duffy's in-airport. crunch fitness marketing campaign didn't. work out. I'll tell you who's really.

upset about this is RFK. Come on, John. Keep your jeans on, but take your shirt. off. It's totally normal. You know, I just wish someone could give. me an impartial explanation for why. Americans find themselves in this. frustrating situation. >> The Democrats, they don't believe in. reasonableness and common sense. And. it's sad to me that they're like right. now blocking DHS. Huh. That's funny because I feel like. blocking funding for DHS is a very. reasonable and common sense thing to do. based on everything that we've seen in.

the last year. Let's take a look at the. Democrats' demands here, shall we? Prohibiting ICE agents from wearing. masks, requiring them to display their. IDs, restricting their ability to use. force, and blocking them from conducting. operations at schools, churches, and. medical facilities. Now, those sound. pretty damn reasonable to me. I mean, if. Democrats were holding up DHS funding. until every ICE agent started dressing. like Chapel Roan, I'd get it. But last I. checked, that's not happening. But it might be cool if it did. But this.

snarky tactic of thanking Democrats for. the current long lines at airports has. really taken off in the Republican. Party. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer got. in on it, so did Senator Katie Britt, as. did the GOP's main account. DHS is. responding to tweets from airports with. thank a Democrat. And Mike Johnson even. put out a video. Right off the bat, there is so much. wrong with this video. First, Democrats. shut down DHS and now Americans are.

feeling the effects. Well, not Alex. Preddy or Renee Good, but I guess other. Americans are feeling the effects. Second, Democrats did not shut down DHS. They used the power that they have as. the minority party to kindly request. that mass marauders stop murdering. people on the streets of America. And. thirdly, did Mike Johnson rip that. ominous music off of The Social Network. because it works perfectly? The truth is she has a nice face. I need. to do something to take my mind off her.

Easy enough except I need an idea. And. to think that little idea now helps. Republicans flood Americans' Facebook. feeds with this type of scary. propaganda. TSA employees are currently. working without pay for the second time. in 6 months. TSA says more than 300 of. its TSA workers have quit since. February. >> Airport officials said this shutdown was. causing longer than average wait times. due to a shortage of TSA workers. I'm. going to be honest, it's hard not to get. caught up when you see those images and. hear those stories. But I guess that's.

today's Democratic Party for you. Democratic politicians are happy to make. TSA workers suffer if it furthers their. agenda. >> Democrats have put forward legislation. that would pay TSA agents, just not ICE. or Customs and Border Patrol. Oh, that's. right. If you're a TSA agent, you could. actually thank a Democrat because it. turns out they are the one party. fighting to get you paid. Democrats have. been so determined to make a deal with. Republicans that Texas Democratic. Representative Greg Casar even went to. the airport to make his pitch. Let's. just fund TSA. And Senator Cornyn, the.

Republican, said no. They could go tomorrow. to Washington, D.C. right now. Excuse. me. You can go straight to Washington, D.C. and join with me to fully fund TSA. Senator Cornyn should put his money. where his mouth is. Hey, Senator. Senator, I was hoping Holy Now, I. know that Congressman Casar had an. inkling that Senator Cornyn would be. dropping by, but that was truly the. closest thing I've ever seen in real. life to a cameo in a sitcom. It's one. step below the staff in the office. talking about how they can't stand the.

new guy who got hired and then cutting. to Dwight and John Cornyn. But let's. hear what this week's special guest had. to say. Why don't you tell your your. Democrats to vote to pay these Let's do. it. Let's do it. >> No, you do it. No, no, you don't have to. yell at me. You don't have to yell at. me. Let's go. Let's let's let's talk for a. second, Senator. No, I'm not There's a. bipartisan bill to fund just the TSA. Can we do that to get on it? Not acceptable to fund just the TSA. How. about all the terrorist attacks like. we've seen down on Sixth Street? Do you. want those to continue? These people are. keeping us safe. Help the Democrats to.

vote for funding the DHS. Let's talk. about each one. Would you fund the TSA. with me? No? Sounds like instead of. bringing people Whoa. John Cornyn sure. was in a hurry to get inside. What did. he have to do? Have a special classified. briefing with the heads of security? Or. maybe he decided to shave off a little. of that $7 million war chest he's. amassed for his Senate campaign just to. show the people of Texas he feels their. pain. And what we did today is just. offer them a token of our appreciation. by delivering some water burgers to.

them. Well, isn't that sweet? Although. I'm pretty sure those TSA agents would. have preferred that other popular. product, what about our paychecks? But. here's what I can't get over. This is a. party that has done everything. imaginable to accrue more power that now. refuses to use any of that power. Republicans are the majority party and. they have moved heaven and earth to get. there. The reality is that if. Republicans wanted to solve this. problem, they would solve the problem. because these are not people who have. ever allowed pesky nuisances like the.

courts or the laws or the Constitution. to get in their way. They undermine our. electoral process. They claim these. folks are peaceful patriots. They were. even on board with hanging their own. vice president. But now that they claim. that their hands are tied, if this were. the Avengers, it would be like Tony. Stark constructing the Iron Man suit, but then just using it to build a. ballroom. We are in this mess because of. poor leadership and I know one man who. finds that to be completely. unacceptable. If there is a shutdown, I. think it would be a tremendously.

negative mark on the president of the. United States. He's the one that has to get people. together. >> I'm a deal man. I made hundreds and. hundreds of deals and transactions. He. never did deals before. How can you. expect a man that's not a deal man, that. never did a deal. other than frankly becoming president of. the United States. He never did a deal. How's he going to corral all these. people. >> would you do it now? Now, you're in the. Oval Office right now. It's Tennessee. >> together and we'd have a budget and we'd. >> They've all gotten together. >> Well, that's because they don't have the.

right leader. That's right. If America. just had the right leader, our worries. would be over. Republicans have no. interest in governing. Their only. interest is in campaigning and. presenting themselves as the perpetual. underdog, the perpetual victims because. with governance comes compromise and. accountability. And under the leadership. of Donald Trump, these people refuse to. compromise or be held accountable for. anything. But don't worry, America. While you wait for hours at the airport, pay more at the pump to fill up your car. with gas, pay more at grocery stores to. feed your family, and pay more at the.

hospital for health care, it's worth. remembering that the GOP has your back. in other ways that you can always rely. on. Republicans won't hesitate to be. delivering some water burgers to them.
