Keith Ellison on Trump Budget: I Want To See Who Will Stand Next to This Monstrosity of a Budget

‘I want to see a Republican do that’

EXCERPT:

ELLISON: "I really do hope that the Republican caucus puts this budget up for a vote. I want to see who is going to stand next to this monstrosity of a budget. I’m curious to see who representing southern Ohio, Kentucky or Tennessee is going to vote to zero out the Appalachian Regional Council, who representing Northern Tier state is going to cut, zero out LIHEAP. I want to see the Republican who is going to do that. That will be a pretty gutsy move right there and I guarantee you your constituents will know exactly what you did. Because they are watching, Mr. Speaker. People watch C-SPAN and they read the news. They read the headlines that I read off, Mr. Speaker, and they are aware of what is happening in the People's House at this very hour."
