Is It OK to Retweet Cardi B’s Government Shutdown Rant?
January 17, 2019
Rapper Cardi B got congressmen talking in Washington after she posted a foul-mouthed rant on Instagram about the government shutdown. In a video posted Wednesday night, the 26-year-old called the country a "hellhole right now, all for a "f****** wall." She sympathized with the federal workers who were summoned to go back to work even though they will not be receiving a paycheck until the shutdown is over. Some members of congress debated whether or not to retweet the profanity-laced tirade.
