Tammy Duckworth george washington statue

CNN anchor Dana Bash asked Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) if she believed that the statues of George Washington come down?

“Well, let me just say that we should start off by having a national dialogue on it at some point,” responded Duckworth.

Sara Carter, reacted to the democrat senator on a tweet, saying that:

“It will never end —- the cancel culture will never be satisfied until everything they know or find offensive is gone… I remember the Taliban blowing up The Buddhas of Bamyan statues they found offensive, or children’s suicide camps in #FATA where they wouldn’t allow depictions of peoples faces, while they spewed lies – what about book burnings in Germany during WWII – should the Pyramids be blown apart because they were built by Slaves? Should we dismantle all societies because every single one has committed some offense or atrocity? When does it end?”

The House of Representatives failed to pass a continuing resolution negotiated between conservative and moderate House Republicans in an effort to avoid a government shutdown.

The Spending Reduction and Border Security Act was introduced by Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida on Sept. 18, following negotiations between the conservative House Freedom Caucus and centrist Main Street Caucus, as a compromise between divided factions of the House Republican Conference to achieve unanimity while avoiding a government shutdown. The bill failed the House by a vote of 198 yeas to 232 nays, with all Democrats voting against the bill.

The bill would fund the government until Oct. 31 and cut public spending by 8.1285%, according to the bill’s text. This would yield $1.59 trillion for one month until the House and Senate pass 12 appropriations bills to provide permanent funding for the 2024 fiscal year.

The Biden administration issued a statement on Friday staunchly opposing the bill, claiming that its cuts to public spending were too severe. It indicated that President Joe Biden will veto the bill if it is presented to him, which means it is unlikely to be passed by the Democratic-led Senate, either.

The Senate has been working on its own bipartisan continuing resolution to fund the government, which includes funding for Ukraine. House Republicans have criticized the bill, with Donalds saying that it is “dead on arrival” in the House.
