DEMOCRATS ON THE SHUTDOWN:
Katherine Clark, the second-highest ranking Democratic Member of the House of Representatives openly ADMITTED to using the suffering of the American people as political leverage.
In an interview with Fox News, she said: “Of course there will be families that are going to suffer… but it is one of the few leverage times we have.”
American suffering should never be used as leverage.
And why are they leveraging suffering? To demand healthcare for illegal aliens, LGBT programs in foreign countries, $1.5 trillion in spending, etc.
Here are more Democrats, in their own words, on the government shutdown:
Sen. Chuck Schumer: “Every day gets better for us”
Sen. Bernie Sanders: “[If] you reopen the government and we lose our leverage…”
Sen. Martin Heinrich: “That just gives the President more leverage” if we vote to pay troops, TSA agents, or law enforcement.
Unnamed Democrat Senator: “People are going to get hammered” if they vote for the House-passed bill to reopen the government.
Unnamed Democrat Senator: “We would have enough votes if people were not terrified of getting the guillotine.”
Senior Democrat Aide: “The party will not concede short of ‘planes falling out of the sky.’”
Over 260,000 households in South Carolina will be without SNAP benefits for November due to their political schemes.
House Republicans passed a clean funding extension a month ago. Democrats need to vote to pass it NOW.
