AOC Says Trump Is Holding All the Nation’s Hospitals and Vital Services Hostage

As Twitchy reported earlier, President Donald Trump has issued a temporary freeze on federal grant payments. This led Sen. Chuck Schumer to call it "a dagger at the heart of the average American family" and claim that it would affect hospitals, police departments, firefighters, senior centers, food pantries, mass transit, and more.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez managed to outdo Schumer's doomsday rhetoric. She claimed that Trump was holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage.

Schumer had claimed that "every one of our offices have been deluged with calls from people who are in panic." Before people start rioting, they should know that this freeze isn't across the board:

Hmm … "Any project that provides direct benefits to individuals is not subject to the pause." The memo reads:

Q: Is this a freeze on all Federal financial assistance?

A: No, the pause does not apply across the board. It is expressly limited to programs, projects, and activities implicated by the President's Executive Orders, such as ending DEI, the green new deal, and funding nongovernmental organizations that undermine the national interest.

So, not hospitals and vital services? Got it.

She'll probably post a video later in which she makes the same claim.

If only.
