Cummings is mad that the lie has been exposed.
That is EXACTLY what has happened. And Gruber has to be the sacrifice, the guy in the barrel, the patsy, the pigeon.
To defend Gruber, they have to tacitly agree with what he said - the legislation was designed to fool the voters. That is something that Democrats cannot do, lest they lose the rest of their seats in 2016. Gruber will end up slit from gonads to gullet before this is over, and he richly deserves it 1) for architecting it, and 2) for helping to create the lies that legitimized Democrats’ claims about it.
Make no mistake, Democrats hate doing this but it is for survival. He’s under the Bus.
If I had the time, I’d take the Drifters’ “Under the Boardwalk” and write the lyrics with him “Under the Bus”.
You nailed it. Cummings horsewhipped Gruber for spilling the beans, that’s all.
