Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this shutdown is a result of Republican's failure to govern. Democrats have been at the negotiating table for weeks, and the American people are demanding accountability and reform for ICE and CBP. We cannot forget that two American citizens got killed by masked Federal agents for merely exercising their First Amendment rights on the streets of a major city, and then their government turned around and called them domestic terrorists without any evidence whatsoever. That cannot happen again. Democrats are here fighting to prevent it from happening ever again. Where are Republicans? They are here offering symbolic resolutions to score political points for the White House. They are not reforming ICE and CBP. They are not negotiating. If they want Democrats to vote with them, they have to earn our vote.”
