Dems' "Kids' Cancer Research" Narrative On The Spending Bill Just Got Exposed As A Total Lie

Posted • December 20, 2024: After the monstrosity of a plan to avert a government shutdown failed earlier, Democrats went for many wild narratives in blaming Republicans. Among the most popular is to lament how the earlier version of the over 1,550 page bill included research for pediatric cancer research, while a newer version, which failed in the House on Thursday night, did not. Of course, that's not the whole story, and there's one only one side to blame for that. As it turns out, the House on March 5 overwhelmingly passed, by a vote of 384-4, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0, introduced by Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA). It's been held up in the Senate, still currently controlled by the Democrats under Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for another few weeks. Over X for Friday, there have actually been two competing trends to do with cancer research, with one reminding that there's a standalone bill that's been held up.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) went for a dramatic fashion, in one of his many conversations with the press where he's taken the opportunity to smear Republicans. As part of his hysterical fearmongering, no doubt meant to stir up outrage against Republicans, but also likely to cause a panic, Jeffries claimed that Republicans "would rather enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors than fund cancer research for children." -- This is a blatant lie. Schumer has been sitting on a bill to find cancer research for children since March of this year. Democrats are shameless. -- Turns out the cancer research funding that Democrats are all blaming on @elonmusk, was a stand alone bill that passed in the Republican controlled House but got held up in the Democrat controlled Senate. Democrats killed a funding bill for child cancer research. The Democrats are lying again. 🤨

You literally can’t make this up. Democrats are blaming Elon Musk, Trump, & Republicans for k*lling the funding for kids cancer research. It was introduced as a stand alone bill and passed the Republican controlled House. It’s been held up since March in the Democrat controlled Senate led by Chuck Schumer. Why are Democrats blocking funding for kids cancer research?? https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1870146129720971582 -- You know that $190M of funding for pediatric cancer research that Democrats have spent the last day on their high horse about with the CR? Turns out it passed the Republican led House as a stand-alone bill last March but went nowhere in Chuck Schumer's Senate. https://x.com/greg_price11/status/1870138912754053447 -- Legacy media were frothing at the mouth so hard to attack Republicans that they failed to fact check when they tried the "Trump and Elon are ending childhood cancer research" narrative. House R’s already passed it and Dems have refused to pass it in the Senate.

Attack is now backfiring. Why are Senate Dems refusing to fund pediatric cancer research? Is there anything they don’t lie about? https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/1870158087350341671 -- As for what's next with the spending bill before a government shutdown is set to begin at midnight, Jeff has reported on a "Plan C." Conservative members, like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) have been calling for clean, standalone spending bills all along. Musk has called this a "Great idea." (…)
