“Leader” Hakeem Jeffries walked Suozzi & Gillen off a steep cliff

Thanks to Republicans, our nation just averted a costly and unnecessary government shutdown — no thanks to House Democrats, whose blind partisanship and extremism got in the way of working for the American people.

And now, Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen must explain to New Yorkers exactly why they put them in harm’s way and callously voted to shut down the government.

“Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen had a choice: put New Yorkers first and keep the government open, or side with radical Democrats and jeopardize the safety and well-being of their own constituents. Now Suozzi and Gillen will have to answer why they sold out New Yorkers.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

NOTE: By voting against the House-passed CR, House Democrats voted against paying troops, border patrol, federal workers, veteran benefits, and small business loans.
