Bloomberg Hits Trump on the Shutdown: ‘Buck Stops at the Executive’s Desk’

‘Mayors could never get away with closing the government, and I don’t believe we should let this president get away with it either’

EXCERPT:

BLOOMBERG: “Let’s get real. People would never stand for it. They would be outraged. And do you know who they would blame? The mayor, of course, and rightly so. In government, the buck stops at the executive’s desk. That’s true at the local level, as all of you know, but let’s not also forget, it’s true at the federal level. Mayors could never get away with closing the government, and I don’t believe we should let this president get away with it either.” (Applause)
