Herbert’s Shutdown Freakout: Pure Liberal Panic

Teaser: Ex-Gov cries over shutdown while ignoring border chaos!

Article:

Grab your popcorn, folks, because former Utah Governor Gary Herbert is clutching his pearls harder than a Victorian spinster over a potential partial government shutdown. This RINO relic is wringing his hands on KUTV, whining that a temporary funding hiccup might inconvenience some bureaucrats. Oh, the horror! Meanwhile, he’s dead silent on the real crisis: a wide-open southern border where illegal immigrants are pouring in faster than free samples at Costco. Hey Gary, where’s this energy for the millions of Americans footing the bill for Biden’s invasion welcome mat?

Let’s unpack this steaming pile of hypocrisy. Herbert’s acting like a shutdown is the end of civilization, but where was this concern when he and his establishment pals sat idly by as Utah businesses got crushed under COVID lockdowns? Rules for thee, but not for me, right? He’s shedding crocodile tears over federal workers potentially missing a paycheck, yet he doesn’t bat an eye at the ranchers and citizens in border states living in fear of cartels and traffickers. Newsflash, Gary: A few unpaid furlough days pale in comparison to the daily terror of Biden’s borderless utopia. Stop grandstanding for the cameras and start caring about actual Americans, you sanctimonious suit.

And let’s talk about this shutdown drama itself. It’s fueled by a fight over DHS funding...specifically, the Democrats’ tantrum over ICE enforcement. Senate Dems, egged on by bleeding hearts at The Guardian, are demanding “real reforms” (aka gutting ICE entirely) while NBC News casually notes that ICE operations would continue even during a shutdown. So, Herbert, are you Team Open Borders now? Are you cool with the fact that, per Politico, there’s “no off-ramp” for this mess because Dems would rather grandstand than secure our nation? Your selective outrage is louder than a foghorn at a library. If you’re so worried about government “services,” how about championing the one service that matters: protecting our freaking sovereignty?

Here’s the kicker: Herbert’s faux concern reeks of the classic elitist playbook. He’s playing the “think of the poor workers” card while ignoring the elephant in the room...government bloat and Democrat obstructionism. Maybe if he and his cronies hadn’t spent decades ballooning the federal beast, we wouldn’t be in this mess every budget cycle. But nah, let’s just sob over a shutdown while Border Patrol deals with tragedies like the fatal shooting of a VA nurse, as Federal News Network reported. Priorities, right? Get a grip, Gary. Your hand-wringing isn’t fooling anyone with a brain cell.

Takeaway:
Herbert’s shutdown sobs are just liberal noise...shut your suck hole, Gary Herbert, and guard the border instead!
