Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) just shut down Mitch McConnell at a press conference

[kpete]

NEW: Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) just shut down Mitch McConnell at a press conference:

“There was $7 trillion in new debt and 2.6 million jobs lost during Trump. But when McConnell comes to this podium, all he does is complain that we’re not cleaning up their mess fast enough.”

1. That is so exactly right! Indisputable

[FalloutShelter]

2. Thank you Debbie!

More of this please.

[dixiechiken1]

3. YEEEESSSSSSS!!!

LOTS more of this, please!!! Every time a Democrat steps up to a microphone, we need to be calling them out!

[BComplex]

4. YAY!! Democrats are starting to say the mean truth OUT LOUD!!!

'Bout damned time!!!

[gademocrat7]

5. K&R

Shout the truth!

[diehardblue]

6. Yes! Yes! Yes! Call him/them out!

[Raven123]

7. Perfectly phrased

[czarjak]

8. If only they would stop stealing elections.

[roamer65]

9. Debbie is my Senator.

[Midnight Writer]

10. Trump was the biggest deficit spender ever. That gets overshadowed by all his other chicanery.

[wnylib]

37. Bigger than Bush II with his two wars?

[Midnight Writer]

42. Yes.

The only other President with more deficit spending was Obama, but Obama was over 8 years, while Trump nearly caught up to him in his 4.

Obama came in at the beginning of Bush's recession, and also had to deal with Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.

Biden is in a similar situation, as most Democratic Presidents are these days: cleaning up the mess left by the previous Republican's Administration.

11. k and r

[spanone]

12. ...K&R...

[gratuitous]

13. And the media look on like a dog watching a card trick

"Seven trillion dollars in new debt? Two and a half million jobs lost? Whaaaaa?" It just makes their little heads hurt to consider the facts and the legacy of the former guy's administration. It's a far more pleasing narrative to talk about Democrats in disarray. As familiar and comfortable as a pair of cowboy boots, sprung in all the right places.

[BSdetect]

14. The very ones who gave him vast amounts of free time and weak coverage of crimes

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. He would have gone nowhere without all the complicit media

Even with Putin's backing, the media coverage was the lube that shoehorned him into office.

They'll do it again.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Without

The mass media, and Republican Senate, he would have been out of office in the first two months.

80+% of all media in the U.S. is owned by Republicans.............

The largest influence, by far, has been Murdochs Fox News. Resulting in the destruction of America that we have witnessed.
Second would be the RW AM talk radio stations across the entire Rural portion of America......

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. Yep. And don't forget the "Christian" churches preaching belligerent ignorance.

Tax-free.

Millions of Americans are happy to see insurrectionists chanting, "Hang Mike Pence, " and "Lock her up," intent on siezing the role of judge, jury, and executioner in support of a fascist pig who's never even read the Constitution & all the while calling themselves "patriots."

All the while the "slow coup" is underway & no one seems to know how to stop it.

[DENVERPOPS]

38. I particularly love the names they give all their shit.....

Patriots.....lol

The best name ever was "Citizens United"......giving Corporations unlimited power.......

[3catwoman3]

45. Never trust any organization with...

…family, patriots, values, promises, citizens, pro-life or proud anywhere in its title.

[bringthePaine]

15. awesome! as Kirk once said: double dumb-ass on you!🤣

[bucolic_frolic]

16. That is powerful

Hit me again!

May this be the start of some well planned Democratic strategy to bark like a dog, nip at their heels, and bite like a crocodile. Her take was so succinct, well thought out, and oozed with our exasperation as a party.

[benfranklin1776]

17. Nice!!! 👏👏

That is the perfect and cuttingly true response, and it needs amplified by every Democrat each time a seditionist/Putin apologist aka Rethuglican regurgitates their propaganda.

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. It's a shame that brief statement isn't played on EVERY

news channel and every nightly news program.

If the reverse were true, it would be the lead. Instead, it will probably not be seen outside of sites like this where she's preaching to the choir.

[Earth-shine]

20. Trivia: She plays the governor of the state in the movie Batman v Superman.

That's her at Lex Luther's party.

It's implied to be NY. Whatever state it is, it has both Metropolis and Gotham City.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

33. I'm not up on this comic book stuff, but your comment piqued my interest.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/a-guide-fictional-cities-dc-861874/

It’s no secret that both Superman and Batman’s cities are based upon the same real-world location: New York City. (Which isn’t to say that there isn’t also a New York City in the DC Universe; that’s where the New Teen Titans were based for quite some time.) It’s been suggested that Metropolis is an idealized version of New York at its best, while Gotham shows an exaggerated take on the city its worst. This might explain why the two have generally been portrayed as being relatively close to each other — and placed traditionally in New Jersey, of all places. In the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the two cities will officially be neighbors, likened by director Zack Snyder to San Francisco and Oakland — except, of course, on the east coast.

Now there's a rabbit hole I can't afford to go down. (The DC Universe.) Not before I finish my taxes, at least...

21. KR.

[DownriverDem]

22. So wish

she wouldn't be in a different district now. I will so miss her as my rep.

[llmart]

41. She's a Senator.

Not a rep. You may have her confused with Debbie Dingell.

[Martin68]

23. Exactly. Democrats have to keep reminding forgetful or ignorant Americans of these facts.

[sheshe2]

24. Well done 👍

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Truth! Any MSM going to play it? I doubt it.

[jaxexpat]

26. I'm only a voter and I approve this message.

[Sogo]

27. Bada Bing!!

[Cha]

29. R💖🤷‍♂️TY & Sen Stabenow!

💙💛

[pamdb]

30. Debbie

One of my two (both democratic) senators.

Never mess with a redhead!

[Hassler]

31. Finally a Dem knows how to deliver a message. Now she has to teach

The rest of them to approach every hot mic and repeat it every day, every hour between now and November.

[JudyM]

35. That'd be great to see.

We need to start putting sticky-message truths out there, like this one.

[CTyankee]

34. KEEP IT UP!

[Saoirse9]

36. More of this please! n/t

[Blue Owl]

39. Cram it, McConnell

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

40. Touche'

[RayStar]

43. MI

MI is fortunate to our Senator Stabenow.

[Skittles]

44. Dems are treated like women / POC

repukes are treated like white men

[ck4829]

46. K&R

[DownriverDem]

47. Love my Senator

We are lucky here in Michigan to have 2 Dem Senators (Stabenow & Peters).
