Sarah Sanders: Dems ‘Claim to Care About Federal Workers’ But They’re Busy ‘Hanging out on the Beaches of Puerto Rico’

‘Hopefully this meeting today can be somewhat different but at the same time they have shown us they are unwilling to negotiate in good faith’

EXCERPT:

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "I mean, Democrats have to be willing to do something. So far they have been willing to do nothing but obstruct. That is not going to fix the problem. That is not going to open the government. They claim to care about federal workers, but they have been so busy hanging out on the beaches of Puerto Rico and hitting Broadway shows. Frankly, they don’t have time to sit down with the President. They were no-shows yesterday. Hopefully this meeting today can be somewhat different. But at the same time they have shown us they are unwilling to negotiate in good faith. The President asked Nancy Pelosi directly. She keeps claiming that you have to open the government before we can negotiate, and he asked her point-blank, 'If I open the government, will you work with me and give me border security funding, including the wall?' and she said no. Nancy Pelosi has been unwilling to do anything and that is simply not going to work and it is not going to fix the problem. And she has to get serious about doing her job and not just get serious about being a political figure. And hopefully we’ll see something break on that soon."
