Mitch McConnell: ‘Stop the Wild Goose Chase’ Let’s Fund the Government

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: "This is completely unfair and uncompassionate for my Democratic colleagues to filibuster government funding, harm our troops, and jeopardize health coverage for nine million children because extreme elements of their base want illegal immigration to crowd out every other priority. Apparently they believe that the issue of illegal immigration is more important than everything else, all the government services the American people depend on. I would recommend to stop the wild goose chase. Don’t go to a destination that cannot be explained. Let’s fulfill the core responsibilities of Congress. Let’s fund the government, provide for the American people, and then resume serious negotiations on the issues that matter most. Let’s fund the government for a full month so we can actually get something done."
