Dem Committee Members Delete Their Gross Tweet Mocking Poor Americans, But We’ve Got It
The text presents a partisan critique of the Democratic Party’s actions, notably focusing on a situation involving a tweet from the official account of the House Ways and Means Committee. this tweet used Black Friday sales data to make a seemingly dismissive comment about Americans’ financial struggles, which has drawn criticism for being tone-deaf. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, highlighted the disconnect between these comments and the reality faced by many Americans, who have been struggling with the cost of living.
The article suggests that Democrats’ actions reflect an elitist attitude and a lack of understanding of the financial hardships ordinary citizens are experiencing. It points out that significant online Black friday sales were partly funded through “buy now, pay later” schemes, implying that many shoppers may not have had sufficient money for immediate payment, contrary to the narrative suggested by the tweet.
the text conveys a strong disapproval of the Democratic approach to economic issues and emphasizes a narrative of Republican concern for the financial well-being of Americans compared to what it characterizes as mocking by Democrats. The piece culminates in a statement about a shift in voter sentiment that led to Republican electoral success, framing it as a rejection of the Democrats’ perceived elitism.
They let the truth slip out from time to time, and then they try to conceal it.
Democrats, of course, have long since morphed into an authoritarian-elitist party, so one wonders why they bother pretending otherwise.
Tuesday on the social media platform X, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson d a screen shot of a since-deleted from “Ways and Means Democrats,” the official X account of Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee, in which those Democrats used robust Black Friday online sales totals to mock Americans who have complained about high prices.
“And here we were thinking y’all couldn’t afford eggs!” the tone-deaf read.
As Johnson noted, Democrats later chose to delete the tweet.
“Americans have been struggling for FOUR YEARS to afford basic necessities and House Democrats are mocking them. Talk about your all-time out of touch, disgraceful comments,” the House Speaker wrote.
Democrats deleted this tweet.

Democrats’ condescending mockery would have shocked us if we did not already know how much they despise ordinary Americans.
As it stands, we have watched Democrats censor Americans’ speech, throw open their borders and send their money overseas to fight a proxy war against a nuclear power, so their dismissive attitude toward Americans’ financial struggles came as no surprise.
Moreover, if they really feel that way about Americans, why delete the tweet? Why not own it?
Worst of all, perhaps, the information Democrats cited did not even justify their callous mockery.
As part of their original tweet, the Ways and Means Democrats d a USA Today story from Saturday that highlighted an impressive $10.8 billion in Black Friday online spending, up more than ten percent from last year.
For some reason, the Democrats chose not to delve into the story’s details.
(Perhaps Democrats only read headlines. If so, that would explain why many of them still believe in certain hoaxes.)
Had they looked deeper, they would have found that a significant percentage of those sales involved “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) — essentially a modern version of layaway in which consumers who do not have money on hand may purchase an item and make smaller, interest-free installment payments.
BNPL accounted for $686.3 million in online sales on Friday alone.
Moreover, according to Adobe Analytics, which the USA Today story used as a primary source, Americans’ BNPL spending totaled $9.4 billion between Nov. 1 and Dec. 2.
That, of course, does not include purchases via other forms of credit.
In other words, millions of consumers do not have the money to pay for Christmas gifts up front.
Fortunately, Americans rendered their verdict on the economy and on Democrats’ authoritarian-elitist condescension when they voted to send President-elect Donald Trump back to the White House.
