Liberals Are Crying ‘Fascist!’ At Republicans Doing What DEMS Did in 2008
As Democrats protested that Americans still have gun rights by, literally, sitting lazily on their Obamas, liberals went on social media to whine about Republicans shutting down the cameras.
Republicans are prohibiting C-SPAN from turning its cameras on while the Dems speak in favor of bills that would require background checks.

Republicans have turned off the cameras in the House of Representatives so that public can't see gun control protest! Stunning.

The Republicans turning off C-SPAN cameras is sheer censorship. When 90% of the American people agree, this is tyranny. #RememberinNovember

Democrats sit-in on the House floor, until a vote on sensible gun reform. Republicans shut off the CSPAN cameras! Fascists.

Those tyrants!! Fascists!! How dare they shut down democracy just like the Democrats did in 2008!!
Oh wait.. what?
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House, turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices.
Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi’s refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m., and they are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess.
At one point, the lights went off in the House and the microphones were turned off in the chamber, meaning Republicans were talking in the dark. But as Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz..) was speaking, the lights went back on and the microphones were turned on shortly afterward.
IN fact, what they did was much worse because they shut out the lights AND back then they didn’t have the kind of technology where Republicans could have broadcast themselves from their iPhones. And they totally made John Boehner cry too!!!
But we’re the fascists, right?
House Republicans (aka fascists) just turned the cameras off so you can’t see an anti-gun violence sit-in https://t.co/DgqLKqSiCa
