Jen Psaki: Dems Aren’t Against Border Security, They Just Have Different Views on It

RUSH EXCERPT:

PSAKI: “Look, as was just outlined in the report, the Democrats passed several bills that they sent to Mitch McConnell that he refused to bring to the floor. So their argument is let’s get the government open. We have 800,000 federal workers that aren’t getting paychecks. We’re seeing the impacts on TSA and let’s have a discussion. They are not against border security. They just have different views on how it should be funded and how it should be approached and they certainly want to help dreamers. So there’s a lot of incentive for them to actually do that but they want to open the government first and as Charlie dent just said and I lived through a number of shutdowns myself, they often end in a clean bill that goes through and then they can take the issues forward. So the pressure is going to be on a lot of the Republicans, including Mitch McConnell that’s been largely absent from the debate to have a clean vote and move forward to this negotiation after. Whether or not President Trump allowed for that, it’s a big question.”
