EXCERPT:

WALLACE: President Trump has talked about a number of items that he would like to see in this government funding bill. Which are so important that he’s willing to see the government shutdown if he doesn’t get them?

MULVANEY: I don’t think anybody is trying to get to a shutdown. Shutdown is not a desired end. It’s not a tool. It’s not something that we want to have.

We want our priorities funded and one of the biggest priorities during the campaign was border security, keeping Americans safe and part of that was a border wall.

And we don’t understand why the Democrats are so wholeheartedly against it. They voted for it in 2006, then-Senator Obama voted for it. Senator Schumer voted for, Senator Clinton voted for it.

So, I don’t understand why Democrats apply in politics just because Donald Trump is in office.
