HUDA government agency’s website now greets visitors with a message blaming the “radical left in Congress” with the shutdown of the federal government. “The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government,” a pop-up message reads on U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s [HUD] website. “HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need.”The message is also plastered on the website’s main page. Democratic strategist Vanessa Brito railed against the “propaganda.”“Embedding partisan propaganda on a federal site is dangerous & likely illegal,” she tweeted.
