A spokeswoman for GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson’s campaign chastised the Democratic candidates on Wednesday morning for promising “a lot of goodies” that “we don’t have money for” in their first debate.
“The candidates last night spent a lot of time talking about what the government can do for you,” Carson spokeswoman Ying Ma told MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart.
“They promised a lot of goodies, everything from debt-free college to in-state tuition for illegal immigrants. And they made it explicitly clear that they want the rich to pay for all of these things.”
Carson himself has repeatedly expressed concern over America’s “unsustainable” debt on the campaign trail, blaming it primarily on social safety net programs.
Ma sounded a similar note on MSNBC, insisting the nation’s $18.5 trillion national debt “is the result of politicians in Washington promising things they can’t afford, spending money on all kinds of things we don’t have money for.”
Carson’s wasn’t the only Republican campaign going after Democrats for promising to expand education and healthcare programs.
Appearing on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday morning, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said that Tuesday evening was a “liberal versus liberal debate about who was going to give away the most free stuff.”
Now we see the “scripted talking points” put out today by the RNC to the Reich-Wing Echo Chamber.
“The Democrats Promised a lot of Free Stuff”
You will see this exact statement repeated ad nauseam in the Reich-Wing for the next 2 weeks.
It is perfect for them because it both exploits the “victimhood” of the poor, stupid, white male who feels he is “not getting the free stuff everybody else does” and continues the 40-year narrative of “Tax and Spend Lib’ruls” that they reflexively regurgitate whenever asked about it.
Short, Stupid, and Fact-Free, just like the FOX News watchers want it.
Ma continued, “On the other hand, we believe the Government should kick you in the head and tell you to fuck off…”
Today’s episode of “We Can’t Afford to Educate The Nation’s Children” was filmed live on a campaign donor’s 200-foot yacht with a staff of 30.
Odd how they all say the same thing. Frankly, these talking points have not worked for a long time. Not sure why they keep going back to drink from such a dry well.
A bit early to run this meme ? It will seem stale and silly long before the real election…
