Hannity: Defund Obamacare and let Democrats shut down the government
Speaking to Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) on his radio show Tuesday, Republican opinion host Sean Hannity urged the tea party favorite to stand with fellow Republicans and force a government shutdown later this year by refusing to vote for any spending bill that includes money to implement the Affordable Care Act.
“How many members of the House and Senate ran on repealing Obamacare?” Hannity asked Lee. “Now they can vote symbolically or they can take this stand, is what you’re telling them to do. I’m supporting you. I think they ought to just put their foot down, stand on principal and stop calculating what political impact is going to be felt here. Fund the rest of the government, but just defund Obamacare. And then if the Democrats want to shut down the government, then let them shut it down.”
Lee told the hosts of “Fox & Friends” on Monday that he and a handful of fellow tea party enthusiasts in Congress are preparing to pull out all the stops to shut down the health reform law before it is fully implemented in 2014, all but admitting defeat on the House Republicans’ effort to repeal the law with legislation of their own.
