John Katko actually said...

"compromise is not a dirty word, and at the heart of what causes shutdowns in my mind is an inability to compromise, political posturing and gamesmanship"

"the more that we use shutdowns as a political tool, the more we are really flirting with disaster, and I have never voted for a shutdown."

"I made a promise to my constituents long ago that I would vote I would never vote against -- vote for a shut down or continued shutdown and that's all that was last night."

"But make no mistake about it, I absolutely believe that we need to secure our border."
