After awhile, you’d think at some point in time
Democrats would demonstrate a little shame and admit they were wrong, or at
least tell the truth. That is one bridge
too far. Progressives will deny what
they’ve said even though they’ve been recorded multiple times. To them, we are the idiots for not
understanding their intent.
Jonathon Gruber is one of the architects of Obamacare. This man declared, on multiple occasions,
that Obamacare subsidies were tied to state run exchanges. Brietbart.com reported the following:
A clip of Jonathan Gruber circulated last night in which he states that
Obamacare subsidies are tied to the existence of state exchanges. This
statement is extremely problematic for the law's supporters because it appears
to confirm the view of plaintiffs in the Halbig case, i.e. that only state-exchanges
were intended to deliver subsidies.
This morning Gruber told the New Republic's Jonathan Cohn that he know why he said it at the time in
2012. "I was speaking off-the-cuff. It was just a mistake," he
claims. He added, "My subsequent statement was just a speak-o—you
know, like a typo." A typo is usually a simple slip of the finger on the
keyboard, i.e. a misspelling or missed bit of punctuation. Gruber's statement
is nearly a minute long.
Also, it turns out it was not the
only time he made such a statement. An clip
from a public appearance Gruber made at the Jewish Community Center of San
Francisco on January 10, 2012 reveals he made the same connection
between subsidies and state-based exchanges on at least one other occasion (hat
tip to MorgenR).
There is no doubt this man is a progressive. His liar qualifications are off the
chart.
