    I've always said that Democrats are the epitome of hypocrisy and they just keep proving me correct on a daily basis.

    AOC and other Democrats made a huge stink about it when DeVos did it. Now they're all just amazingly quiet! The real dick punch is that Cuomo decided to give himself a $70,000 raise after raising taxes in NY! Highly disturbing.

    This is the pattern though. Democrats are only in it for themselves. Cuomo probably thinks he's just continuing his post birth abortion policies...

    As a refresher

    Excerpts: Emphasis added by author of linked article

    ABC senior national correspondent Terry Moran had arguably the most visceral reaction, during World News Tonight. “For more than 50 years, the Special Olympics have been part of a revolutionary movement, putting people with intellectual disabilities front and center, in a new light on the world stage. For decades, the government supported the games, but now the Trump administration wants to eliminate all federal funding,” he bitterly announced.

    The Jack Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami would get $20 million. Nicklaus is a golfing buddy of the President's,” Moran added to suggest shady dealing by President Trump.

    As for NBC Nightly News, chief White House correspondent Hallie Jackson also relied heavily on those shrieking Democrats. “I have two nephews with autism. What is it that we have a problem with with children who are in special education? Why are we cutting all of these programs,” Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan demanded to know of DeVos.

    I'm surprised AOC is quiet on this as she usually blasts everyone regardless of party.

    On the flip side, did anyone expect democrat politicians to do anything that isn't greedy, self serving or hypocritical?

    Can't wait to see this story on CNN.

    The difference being that The Trump administration proposed cutting but never actually did.

    True.

    But the point is, the left's propaganda machine went nuts the instant the potential cuts were revealed.

    Not seeing the same reaction in response to Cuomo and New York's actions.

    Gee, what a surprise.
