Hey @hickenlooper! Just in case you needed a refresher on Senate procedure — it takes 60 votes to pass a bill through the Senate. Republicans hold 53 seats. I’ll let you do the math.
Republicans hold the power in Washington – they control the White House and both chambers of Congress. Nevertheless, we’re heading into week 4 of a government shutdown because they refuse to fix a looming health care crisis for millions of Americans. It’s mind-boggling.

Cracking down on fentanyl. Arresting criminal illegal immigrants. Giving more resources to local law enforcement. As a former cop, these are just some of the ways I am working to make #CO08 a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.

My Abuelo Chavez immigrated from Mexico in pursuit of the American Dream. I will keep fighting to protect that dream for future generations by lowering costs, cutting taxes, and making communities safer. 🇺🇸

I am proud to have delivered lower taxes for middle and working-class Coloradans, delivering a tax break for the bottom 85% of wage earners and removing taxes on tips. That's what putting working Coloradans first looks like.

Democrats in Washington and Denver continue to push soft-on-crime policies that allow criminals to spread drugs and commit crimes without punishment. I'm fighting back with commonsense policies that puts your safety first. 💪

When I voted for the Working Families Tax Cuts, I was looking out for #CO08 and putting more money back in the pockets of hard-working families.

Over the past 9 months, I have been proud to protect access to food assistance programs, deliver benefits to service members, protect access to financial assistance for farmers, and look out for working families. I’m not here for political games. I’m here to deliver results. 💪

Hey @MichaelBennet and @Hickenlooper - I spy you both in this video. At least you're both consistent in taking money from hardworking Americans and giving it to illegal immigrants! This must be why you both voted to shut down the government!

I am working to guarantee #CO08 seniors get their Social Security checks, families keep food on the table, and our troops receive the benefits they’ve earned. I will always fight for working families.

Democrats own this shutdown.
Senate Democrats — including Colorado’s Bennet and Hickenlooper — vote down GOP funding bill, putting government on path to shutdown https://t.co/Ql00MZf93D

Senator Bennet and Senator Hickenlooper — You both voted to shutdown the government where thousands of federal employees, including our troops, will have their pay withheld. Coloradans deserve to know if you plan to do the same. @Hickenlooper @MichaelBennet

The headlines say it all. Democrats blocked the bill to keep America open. Now they’re to blame for the shutdown. That’s not leadership — that’s politics at the expense of the American people.

Even the media knows a government shutdown is the Democrats’ fault 👀

Republicans are working to keep the government open and America running. Democrats are threatening a shutdown because we won’t fund their extreme priorities like taxpayer funded benefits for illegal immigrants. That’s unacceptable.

The Colorado Crime Crisis is a self-inflicted catastrophe brought on by Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies and anti-police rhetoric.

Democrats are trying to force taxpayers to foot the bill for free healthcare for illegal immigrants. We believe in better healthcare — Republicans gave $200 billion for healthcare in the Working Families Tax Cut. We just want that money to go to Americans first.

Democrats are ready to shut down the government and deny services to seniors, veterans, and children because they want more of your money for illegal immigrants. That’s a nonstarter - American money should be going to Americans.

There needs to be a serious discussion about the dangerous rhetoric coming from the Left. We are Americans first and we must condemn language that incites violence.

Let me be clear: if the government shuts down, it is a direct reflection of the Democrats unwillingness to fight for Americans. They are choosing political games over people's paychecks.

When a government shutdown was looming while I was fighting in the Global War on Terror, it was hard to get parts for our aircraft. If the Democrats shut down the government this week, they’re putting our troops’ readiness on the line.
