Rapper Cardi B shut down the Trump administration over the partial government shutdown in a profanity-filled post on Instagram that left some Democratic senators in a quandary — whether to retweet.
“I just wanna remind you that it’s been a little bit over three weeks,” the “I Like It” singer says in the video posted late Wednesday, the 26th day of the shutdown. “Trump is now ordering … federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid.”
“This s–t is really f–king serious, bro. This s–t is crazy. Our country is in a hellhole now — all for a f–king wall,” she continued in her expletive-deleted-filled rant, which had been viewed more than 9 million times by Thursday morning.
But some senators wondered if their retweets of the video would be too racy.
Their exchange went like this:
“(Trying to decide whether or not to retweet the Cardi B video),” wrote Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii on Twitter.
“Omg, I had the same argument with myself 30 minutes ago!,” Sen. Chris Murphy wrote back.
“Ok you do it. And say retweets are not endorsements, especially the language, and I will retweet,” Schatz replied.
“DHYB,” Murphy wrote, using the abbreviation for “Don’t hold your breath.”
“I had to google that. Fair enough,” Schatz posted. “See you tomorrow Murph.”
Then Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer weighed in.
“Guys, I’m still holding my breath. Are you gonna RT Cardi B or not?,” he said.
