Day 5: George Whitesides’ Shutdown Stiffs Our Troops

Today is Day 5 of George Whitesides’ government shut down. By closing the government, Whitesides and other Democrats are denying paychecks to our military servicemembers, law enforcement, and border patrol agents. While Republicans voted to keep America open and secure, Democrats chose politics over those who protect us.

“Shutting down the government to score political points is disgraceful. The fact that Democrats like George Whitesides are willing to stiff our troops and law enforcement says everything you need to know about their priorities.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
