Pelosi: ‘Serious and Justified Concern’ Trump Would Shut Down the Government Anytime He Does Not Get His Way Legislatively

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “We’ll see how the Republicans in the House vote on their own suggestion. We’ll see how the Republicans in the Senate vote on their own legislation. But it is really unfortunate that not only is the President holding the American people and America’s workers hostage, he is holding the Republicans and the Congress of the United States hostage. Not all of them. Some of them understand what it means in lives of American people. We hope that more of them will. Congressional Democrats support smart, effective border security, but we do not support the President holding the health, safety and paychecks of the American people hostage again to a campaign applause line. There is serious and justified concern that this president would shut down the government anytime he does not get his way legislatively. That is why we must hold the line on this shutdown and government."
