“Leader” Hakeem Jeffries walked Vicente Gonzalez 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, Vicente Gonzalez must explain to Texans exactly why he put them in harm’s way and callously voted to shut down the government.

“Vicente Gonzalez had a choice: put Texans first and keep the government open, or side with radical Democrats and jeopardize the safety and well-being of his own constituents. Now Vicente Gonzalez will have to answer why he left Texans behind.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

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