“Leader” Hakeem Jeffries drove House Democrats 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. 

The worst part? “Leader” Hakeem Jeffries walked House Democrats off a steep cliff, and now every single vulnerable Democrat must answer why they voted to shut down the government.

“House Democrats had a choice: stand with the American people or bow to their extremist base. Their ‘Leader’ Hakeem Jeffries packed them in a van and drove straight off a cliff, and now every vulnerable Democrat will have to explain why they put politics over people.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

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