Senate Democrats and the media tried to railroad Speaker Johnson and Republicans this week with a big lie about cancer research funding for children and got them to throw it in the omnibloat bill along with a ton of gifts for Democrats.
But after Greg Price exposed the fact that the bill had already been passed by the House back in March and was being held up in the Senate by Chuck Schumer – and Elon Musk retweeted that out to millions of people – the gig was up and people knew the truth. And last night Democrats finally passed the pediatric cancer bill.
Here’s the whole story via Robbie Starbuck:
Today Senate Democrats FINALLY passed the clean bill for childhood cancer research that they’ve blocked for NINE MONTHS.
Yes, House Republicans passed it 9 months ago. Now let me explain the evil tactic that Dems used to leverage kids with cancer to get other things they wanted.
– MARCH 2024 – House Republicans passed a clean bill approving critical funding for pediatric cancer research. They expected the Democrat controlled Senate to pass it shortly after but… They never did. Why? House R’s would find out in 9 months.
Fast forward to December 2024. Funding for the childhood cancer research was forced into the CR/omnibus bill. This bill included elements that funded censorship against right wing media, promotion of DEI, funding for the government, a raised debt ceiling and more of what we call “pork” that politicians wanted totally unrelated to childhood cancer.
The message from Democrats to Republicans was clear now: Vote to pass the bloated establishment uniparty bill with all of our wasteful pork or we’re going to have the media spread the lie that Republicans are voting against funding for childhood cancer. Yes, Democrats were using childhood cancer as leverage to get all the waste they wanted and here’s the thing: They’ve gotten away with evil tricks like this for YEARS because the media acted as their PR arm and Republicans couldn’t compete with their media dominance… Until now.
Like clockwork MSNBC, Washington Post, Rolling Stone and all the usual suspects spread the narrative that Elon Musk, Donald Trump and the Republicans had KILLED the funding for childhood cancer research. But then something incredible happened. Greg Price was the first one I saw on X prominently calling out the media and Dems over the fact that Republicans had in fact already passed this funding in a clean bill back in March but that it was actually DEMOCRATS who have refused to pass it. I searched the news stories and found no mention of this very important context.
So after confirming all the details and the full backstory I fired off the post that’s quote tweeted below. Elon Musk shared it and nearly instantly millions of people saw it. As hours went by, this evil tactic by democrats was exposed and people were waking up to the truth. So what happened next? After 9 months the Democrat Senate rushed to pass the bill after realizing that their evil tactic had backfired.
At the end of the day this is good news on 2 fronts: 1. Childhood cancer research gets funded and 2. X is able to quickly work together to dismantle the lies and propaganda that used to power this kind of evil, bureaucratic, establishment thuggery.
Without X, history tells us that House R’s may have caved to the tactic that seems used. X is making government more transparent and that’s a Christmas miracle we should all be happy about. Still, it’s just vile that the Democrats would use sick kids like this. Hopefully it woke more people up to how they operate.
