Both parties have held the debt ceiling hostage as a political tool. For example, in 2011, the Republicans did it. But in 2013, the Republicans did it. On the other hand, this year it is the Republicans who are doing it.
The NYT deleted that horrible tweet.
The New York Times on Twitter

“Correction: An earlier tweet misstated the nature of recent debt ceiling showdowns. Both parties are responsible for the debt, but only Republicans are using it as a political tool. We deleted the incorrect tweet.”

@rubenbolling Holy shit, I clicked on the link and opened Twitter for the first time on forever and it really has become a right wing shit hole.
@TonChryso @rubenbolling exactly why I won’t click on the link & wish ppl would stop posting them. #FuckMuskratVonFuckStick & #Twatter
@Str8nger @rubenbolling I guess I had to see it for myself once, but yeah... I get you.
@TonChryso @rubenbolling cool, but please maybe post quote or screenshot instead of link. No need to generate traffic/data for #Muskrat IMO. 🙏
