Dems words about the 2013 government shutdown come back to haunt them and prove their hypocrisy
Jan 21, 2018 by Chris Enloe
2013, Schumer said on CNNs The Lead
... 2013, Schumer said on CNNs The Lead: I believe in immigration reform.
What if I persuaded my caucus to say,Im going to shut the government down,

He further explained: [Then-House] Speaker [John] Boehner comes in and he says, basically,its sorta like this.Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage,
and then says Lets negotiate over the price of your house.
You know, we could do the same thing on immigration.
We believe strongly in immigration reform.
We could say,Were shutting down the government,

It would be governmental chaos.

and all that it is that makes our country great and competitive, she said.

Thanks for the revisit.
The fact that Trump hasn’t nailed Schmuckie directly on twitter is interesting. Not sure what that indicates. Schmuckie laid it on Trump pretty thick from the well of the senate. Today will be interesting.
