Steny Hoyer and Xavier Becerra blame sequester for Boston bombing
Democrats Steny Hoyer and Xavier Becerra couldn’t wait even a few more days to play politics with the Boston terrorist attack. According to both Steny Hoyer and Xavier Becerra, the reason and blame for the attack in Boston is: sequester. Yes, I know it’s beyond pathetic, but what else would you expect from Democrats? Yesterday saw leftists immediately blaming the tea party or ‘anti-tax’ groups. When that fell flat, the Democrats needed something else to blame. The sequester. Leftist Politico covered both Hoyer and Becerra’s statements. They tried to candy coat it as well as they could, but they still fail.
With the Boston Marathon bombings less than 24 hours old, some on Capitol Hill are beginning to say the attack shows why Congress should’ve stopped automatic spending cuts from taking hold in March.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, said the bombings are “clearly another place where it demonstrates why having the ability to address security concerns is important.”Rep. Xavier Becerra of California, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said that the first responders working Monday aren’t sheltered from cuts.
“We have to send you less money to help your first responders,” Becerra said.
The only surprise here? is that more Democrats haven’t come out and blamed the Boston bombings on sequester. They are just that slimy. Steny Hoyer is a Democrat Rep. from Maryland and Xavier Becerra is a Democrat Rep. from Los Angeles. Way to go guys. Don’t worry. The media will protect you guys.
