"So, we are two days into the government shutdown and you-know-who did following through on his threat to target blue states and cut billions in funding to New York City, as well as funding in 16 mostly Democratic-led states, Goldberg began. He also doubled-down with yet another racist deepfake meme against House Minority Leader [Hakeem] Jeffries (D-NY). She then played a video of Vice President JD Vance calling the meme funny after a reporter asked if it was helpful"
"So politics has been reduced to internet trolling and targeted retribution, Goldberg said as the audience laughed. You know, it's cute, maybe it's funny, but, you know people got stuff to do! People got families to feed! You know, they don't have time for this bull this stuff that are doingAnd you know you could say you're targeting blue states or red states or whatever. You know, you're actually targeting Americans. That's who you're targeting, she added."
"Hostin repeated, I will say, again, this shutdown is hurting so many Americans, and what is really driving it is that President [Barack] Obama passed the Affordable Care Act giving millions and millions of people healthcare when they didn't have it, and President Trump wants to take that away. He wants to erase Obama's legacy. That is what this is about."
