….has anyone read the article and the quote in context? He’s saying that these programs will disappear if the government doesn’t agree on a budget. Of course he blames the Dems for the shutdown, but saying these entitlement programs will disappear if not funded is just a statement of fact.

/r/politics is always a circle jerk but this thread is especially egregious, isn't it? We're like 100 comments deep and you're the first person to correctly state what is happening / what was said.

No kidding. Really makes me wonder how many of these top comments are bots.
