White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released a scathing statement blaming Senate Democrats for forcing a government shutdown early Saturday morning.
“Senate Democrats own the Schumer Shutdown. Tonight, they put politics above our national security, military families, vulnerable children, and our country’s ability to serve all Americans,” Sanders said in a statement. “We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators.”
Democratic lawmakers forced a shutdown amidst frustration over lack of progress in reaching a deal to protect illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors. White House director of legislative affairs Marc Short however told reporters Friday there were no specific demands of bill text to negotiate over the shutdown saying it was more about “politics, not policy.”
Schumer himself did not appear to demand anything in particular to end the shutdown telling reporters “every American knows the Republican Party controls the White House, the Senate, the House,” adding “it’s their job to keep the government open.”

It’s been so long since they had a real budget the Demonuts do not realize DACA is not Budget material
“Rats: The Party of the non-Working Man and Woman and 55 Whatevers.
These politicians are for party and power; these politicians do not like or obey the United States Constitution and its laws; these politicians driven by political correctness will support persons who are here illegally before they will support the citizens of this nation.
Progressives like Schumer and Pelosi do not have the integrity to be elected ever again.
Rock On!, ladies.
Has a Republican White House ever pushed back this way against the DIMS?
Exactly—it so nice to see our side playing offense instead of cowering in the corner and begging forgiveness!
Even if they hadn’t done this, the DIMs have a looooong history of being “obstructionist losers”. This is merely the latest event.
Schumer...telling reporters “every American knows the Republican Party controls the White House, the Senate, the House,” adding “it’s their job to keep the government open.”

Sounds like shoomer is giving mcconnel the go ahead for 51 votes to do business.
All this blame for the shutdown being blamed on the Democrats. Why? They are doing exactly what their constituents voted for, they are doing their job. Lindsey Graham, Lee, Paul and Flake, on the other hand were NOT elected to shut down the government and shut down the military. THEIR votes swung it the wrong direction. THEY should be taking the heat.
Bump.
Imagine if GWB would have counter-punched like this.
Schumer and Pelosi had nothing but phrase for Obama when he shut the government down.
I can't believe who in America and in their right mind would ever vote for such mendacious liars.....voting for them is voting against real Americans...surely the Dem's et al can see they are lying.
CALL DIMS
For favoring ILLEGALS over AMERICANS
Take their masks off . . they don’t give a damn about America and its people
DO IT TWEET THE HELL OUT of THEM
You said it so I don't need to. I, like some others on here, throw mcconnell in there, too, for not nuclear-optioning this (as the dims would most assuredly do if they had the reins).
So, yeah, this is the grahampaulflakeleeturtle shutdown.
The 5 or so dims who voted for it most likely did only when they knew it was going down anyway. That way, they can claim they voted conservative when it comes campaign time.

Not in my memory. I LOVE My President!
