shut ‘er down

Reckless Democrats Ami Bera, Salud Carbajal, Ed Perlmutter, Ruben Kihuen, Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader, Denny Heck, and Derek Kilmer are willing to do anything – even hurting their own constituents – in obedience to Nancy Pelosi’s toxic political gamesmanship. Exhibit A: their vote AGAINST a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government open today.

What’s worse, this bill contained funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to keep healthcare for children from expiring.

Nancy Pelosi made it crystal clear earlier today Democrats would withhold support for the bill hoping the government would close so she could blame Republicans. Democrats aren’t even being subtle about it.

“This reckless, irresponsible vote demonstrates these Members’ slavish devotion to Nancy Pelosi and putting politics over their constituents. Their decision to hold healthcare for children hostage to prove a political point shows they have no business serving in the People’s House.” -NRCC Spokesman Jack Pandol
