American senators were conflicted about whether to share Cardi B’s video on the government shutdown.
The rapper lambasted Trump and the American Congress over the shutdown that is in its third week, the longest in America’s history.
“Trump is now ordering — as in summoning — federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid,” Cardi said.
According to BuzzFeed, Cardi B was referring to the 46,000 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees who will have to report to work to handle taxes, a number that accounts for 60% of the department’s workforce.
“Now I don’t wanna hear y’all M******rs talk about, ‘Oh, but Obama shut the government down for 17 days,’ Cardi continued.
“Yeah b****h, for healthcare! So your grandma could check her blood pressure and you bitches could go check y’all p****y in the gynaecologist with no motherfucking problem.”
This set off a Twitter storm among US congressmen with Brain Sanchez saying he does not know whether or not to retweet the Cardi B video.
Chris Murphy replied and said he had the same argument with himself 30 minutes before Brian’s tweet.
This led other congressmen to join in and decide to retweet the video.
American President, Donald Trump is in a standoff with Democrats over his budget to get funding for the border wall with Mexico.
In 2013, under President Barack Obama, Republicans forced shutdown when they tried to delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act known as the Obamacare.
