Senator Steve Scalise on Paying Furloughed Government Employees
House Dems voted NO TWICE to paying all federal workers who've been affected by the shutdown. And for the second week in a row have decided to leave early to give themselves a three day weekend, while getting paid.
Don't let ANY of them pretend they really care about the people.

The reality: Democrats won't put up a dime for a wall that stops criminals & drugs from pouring over our border—but instead passed a bill that sets aside taxpayer money for foreign organizations that provide abortions. They'll fund abortions, but not our security. #priorities pic.twitter.com/muHKkfHSr6

Democrats claim to want open negotiations—but after a group of them went to meet with @realDonaldTrump, their own leadership said they weren't authorized to make a deal. It's clear: no Democrat is authorized to make a deal because they'd rather block @POTUS than find solutions. pic.twitter.com/Nx4iGr2JUE

If Democrats are going to reject what experts tell us they need to secure our border, at some point they have to tell the American people what it is they are actually for, and put an offer on the table. Enough. pic.twitter.com/xDEau4Gbm9
