Jack Kingston: “Let me throw that question right back at you: If we cannot lock in forever and this whole thing is going to be reversed…”

“Let me throw that question right back at you: If we cannot lock in forever and this whole thing is going to be reversed in 10 months, then why can we not reopen the Government by you guys voting for the appropriations bills? It is that simple. You want to reopen the Government? Vote for the appropriations bills. We have already passed 12 out of 13. The one we have not passed, we introduced the Washington, DC continuing resolution today, and it was objected to by one of your Members, and only because of the delicate scurrying around and our high regard on both sides of the aisle did we go back and reopen that we could do a CR for Washington, DC. I am just saying if you want to reopen the government, fine. Vote.”
