Ok, so Shireen characterizes tax cuts, you know, the government taking less of your money, as a ‘hand out’, yet she doesn’t call the literal handout (using the money the government takes from you) to bail out student debt a handout.
She also cites economic justifications for the government bailing out an individual’s debt, yet ignores and demonizes the economic benefits of tax cuts.
So she only cares about economics when it can be used to justify policies she agrees with, and is willing to gaslight people by redefining words to make change happen.
In addition, she is willing to cite polls with no specific policy attachments when it aligns with her views, ignoring the far more relevant measure of public sentiment that comes from how Utahns actually vote.
Politician through and through.
