On “The Breakfast Club” Wednesday, co-host Charlamagne Tha God urged Democrats to “stop playing politics with people’s lives” and reopen the federal government following several Democratic victories in Tuesday’s state and local elections.
“I feel for all those federal workers who have missed two paychecks already, especially when most of them are living paycheck to paycheck,” Charlamagne said. “People are not getting their SNAP benefits. It’s time to reopen the government. I don’t care whose fault it was. Let’s stop playing politics with people’s lives.”
Aside from federal workers going without pay and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits being delayed, the radio host also touched on another issue that was exacerbated by the ongoing government shutdown — rising healthcare costs.
“It’s time to open the government back up, y’all. Dems, you had a great night last night. The premiums have already gone up,” he said. “They are set for the year. It’s time to move on. We appreciate the fight, the valiant effort, but come on, man. People got rent due. People got childcare to pay for, light bills, car notes.”
