CNN Anchor Pulls Receipts to Expose GOP Rep’s Hypocrisy

Kate Bolduan brought up Rep. Ralph Norman’s past praise for the budgetary office’s findings, leaving him floundering and complaining about “wokeness.”

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan came prepared with receipts on Friday when Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) attempted to dismiss the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s analysis that the House GOP’s Israel aid bill would add $26.8 billion to the national budget deficit. While the South Carolina lawmaker fumed that he has “very little confidence in the CBO” because they “have an agenda to back up whatever view” the Biden administration presents, Bolduan pointed out that Norman previously touted the office’s findings when it suited him politically. The bill provides $14.3 billion in aid to Israel but “offsets” this cost by cutting $14.3 billion in funds to the Internal Revenue Service. Contradicting House Republicans’ supposed goal of not adding to the national debt, the CBO found that the legislation would increase the deficit by $26.8 billion over the next ten years. The IRS, citing the reduced capacity to audit wealthy corporations and enforce collections, claimed the cuts would cost the government $90 billion over the next decade.

“I have very little confidence in the CBO,” Norman grumbled. “They have an agenda to back up whatever view the current administration has, so I don’t go with that.” Piggybacking on Norman’s no-confidence declaration about the CBO and his description of it as a pro-Biden entity, Bolduan then brought up his past support for the office’s budgetary analysis when it seemingly served his political agenda. “I have seen you, though, tout the CBO in supporting some of your efforts in the past,” she stated. “I was looking this morning—your office put out a press release from February of this year leaning on the CBO to make your point, calling it ‘a jaw-dropping report’ coming out from the CBO reaffirming what you have said about out-of-control spending and national debt for a long time.” Norman continued: “We have $1.7 trillion deficit this year, and where under any circumstances can they come to bring themselves to have an offset? They can’t cut anything. What about the woke agenda in the military? That’s dollars that can be spent on aid to Israel, and to be honest with you, on aid to Ukraine. But they just will not do that, and they’re intent on bankrupting the country, and we are tired of it here in the House, and particularly under Mike Johnson.”

Rep. Ralph Norman (R/SC) didn't give a rat's ass about the deficit when Republicans passed their Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017 when they controlled both houses of Congress and the White House. The TCJA added $1.7 trillion to the US deficit. During Donald Trump's entire presidency, the U.S. national debt increased by $8.18 trillion, a percentage increase of 40.43%. Republicans only shout about the national debt/deficit when a Democrat is in the White House. Then they want to gut all federal programs that benefit the Middle Class and the poor.

This same Couth Carolina Republcan - Rep. Ralph Norman (70), who graduated from Presbyterian College and is the 28th wealthiest member of Congress, also advocated for the implementation of martial law to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden in January of 2021. Just recently, Rep. Norman introduced an amendment in the House to lower the salary of Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland to only $1. Besides undoubtedly being unconstitutional, this is a new Republican legislative tactic to punish office holders in the Executive Branch. In September, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R/GA), introduced an amendment to reduce the salary of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to $1. Neither of these malicious GOP funding amendments will pass in the US Senate.

This is incomprehensible.

Don't talk to me about what CNN is doing while it is conflating Ceasefire with Humanitarian Pause which is about as dangerous a posture for a so called "News Channel" to. take in the current environment.

They can go F themselves, REPEATEDLY!

These are truly evil people. It really makes me wonder about republican voters and what's actually important to them? I guess owning the libs is it?

 

[SenorXm/Sirius]

I guess owning the libs is it?

That's it... 100%...Thats all that matters to them, even if it means cutting their own throats economically...

 

[bongsaway]

I agree. It's no coincidence that the southeastern states are so poor, they are run by republicans and yet when you say these folks vote against their own best interests, they'll tell you, you don't know what their best interests are. Is living in poverty in their best interest, I think not but who am I to say living in a trashed trailer isn't good for a person?

In case nobody has noticed, Hamas is playing Netanyahu and the IDF and by extension us like a violin and CNN is helping Hamas do it.

This has nothing to do with any humanitarian pause. CNN outed Rep. Norman's (R/SC) hypocrisy when it comes to the Congressional Budget Office.

Go hijack some other thread.

IDF's level of influence over Western news media is tough to ignore.
You DO REALIZE that 100% of everything that issues forth from the region is filtered through Israeli censors, yes?
Unless you are watching either RT or AJ, your news is first approved by the IDF security apparatus.

 

[element94]

Here's something else con Norman said in a Tweet to Mark Meadows:

"“Mark, in seeing what’s happening so quickly, and reading about the Dominion law suits attempting to stop any meaningful investigation we are at a point of � no return � in saving our Republic!! Our LAST HOPE is invoking Marshall Law!! PLEASE URGE TO PRESIDENT TO DO SO.”

Another nitwit with the "Marshall" (Martial) law, a U.S. Representative!
There we have it, Norman is nothing more than another Confederate criminal-type that should be watched, and watched carefully, and constantly. Has he been thoroughly investigated for such heinous anti-American sentiment based on Confederate lies!?

But they are not filtering commentary and the IDIIOT CNN anchors.

Conflating Ceasefire with Humanitarian Pause is either comatose or unscrupulous. Take your pick. But CNN is engaging in this conflation constantly.

You are apparently "commending" CNN for its outing of Rep Norman over the Israeli bill. I would put that about a 4 on a 10 scale for effect with 10 being CNN conflating Ceasefire with Humanitarian Pause which is provocative as hell and DANGEROUS.

Go ask those students on the picket lines today if they are reacting to CNN outing Rep Norman or the issue of Ceasefire v Humanitarian Pause which CNN is conflating.

His blind obedience to corrupt coup bibi doesn’t deserve a response.

Nope, that is not what I am supporting. Don't know why what I have posted is so hard to comprehend.

Though calling out a corrupt Confederate hypocrite who supports criminality is still a good thing to do.

This has what to do with reducing funding at the IRS?

Fine...but CNN desk jockeys are conflating Ceasefire with Humanitarian Pause about every 5 minutes.

Derailing this thread looks like phony support for Israel, as with GOPutins @jnug

Is it a MAGA view or just your's individually, that "commending" a reporter for good reporting only rates a 4 of 10. Seems that would only bother someone who doesn't believe in a free press. And why divert the topic to "those students"?

It should look like what it is....reacting to CNN being credited for outing Rep Norman over the STUPID House Israeli support Bill which all of us should already know is STUPID while CNN provocatively conflates Ceasefire with Humanitarian Pause.

We knew the House Bill was stupid the moment it hit the streets. We know it won't pass the Senate and even if it did, Biden will not sign it. Its a dead letter.

You know who cares about Rep Norman in this context? The residents of the 5th District of South Carolina.
