Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “Republicans' refusal to put the American people first and faithfully negotiate leaves every parent and mom-and-pop shop…”

On the recordDecember 2, 2021
Republicans' refusal to put the American people first and faithfully negotiate leaves every parent and mom-and-pop shop less secure. Let's get serious about governing. I say to my Republican colleagues: It is time to show up for work and stop worshipping at the altar of Donald Trump for 5 minutes, long enough to do your job. Let's stop this legislative brinksmanship and immediately begin to negotiate the FY 2022 bills so we can meet our country's needs.
