Disgusting. Democrats are using struggling Americans as “leverage” in their sick political game.
Another Democrat says the Shutdown is their "Leverage" Disgusting - California Democrat Josh Harder refuses to end the shutdown because "I think the idea that you would give up all of your leverage…is just a fool's errand"

👀Hakeem went on that pod Top Democrat Hakeem Jeffries effusively praised crazy podcaster Jennifer Welch despite her history of vile rantings: JEFFRIES: "Thank you for what you both do. Really appreciate it! Look forward to staying in close touch!"

Only a Washington insider like @Tom_Suozzi could LAUGH while New Yorkers miss paychecks and families lose benefits. He's obviously forgotten who he works for.
New York Democrat Tom Suozzi JOKES when asked about the government shutdown he voted for. What's so funny about families going hungry and millions of workers not getting paid?

Are they finally coalescing around a “we shut down the government for political leverage” talking point? At least that’s true, unlike blaming their shutdown on Republicans.

Dems insulting voters like they’re stupid is one reason they’re losing the argument. Since pre-shutdown “The Republican brand has actually improved” including indys “The worst position Democrats have been… in the last 20 years” (h/t @bennpetersen)
DCCC Chair, Rep. Suzan DelBene, is lying, but she doesn't care. The Senate requires 60 votes to pass a funding bill, but Democrats won't vote for it because they want to fund healthcare for illegals.

The American people understand the simple truth about the Democrat Shutdown. And they appreciate those who stand for truth.
