NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer Statement on Passage of Budget Deal

National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Emmer released the following statement in response to tonight’s budget agreement:

“I applaud President Trump and Republican leaders in Congress for securing the best deal anyone could hope to get with these socialist Democrats running the House of Representatives.

“We could have gotten a much better deal if Democrats weren’t so blinded by their quest for open borders and their hatred of ICE that they were willing to jeopardize the safety of our law enforcement personnel on the southern border.

“Make no mistake about it – human trafficking and drug cartels are very real problems, and only in the minds of Democrats do they come second to their irrational hatred of President Trump and our free republic.

“The stakes in 2020 could not be higher, and we are going to fight like hell until the last poll closes on Election Day to hold the socialist Democrats accountable for their extremism.”
