Rep. Flood on Poll Blaming Trump for the Gov’t Shutdown: ‘That‘s a Snapshot from One Media Entity,’ There‘s More Polling Out There

EXCERPT:

FLOOD: “Well, that‘s a snapshot from one media entity. There‘s a lot more polling that‘s out there, I‘m sure. But here‘s the deal. Like, I am a Republican that has always voted to fund the government. I voted to fund the government when the House Freedom Caucus didn‘t want to in the last Congress. I have always voted to do it. If we have a reasonableness standard, and the question is, is it unreasonable to extend the Biden-Schumer House Republican budget from 2024? The answer is yes. It‘s so understandable that Democrats already did it in March, and all they have to do is do it again, and then we get to a mainline budget that, again, will require compromise between Republicans and Democrats. And we can end this charade and the uncertainty that Schumer and all the Democrats are putting on the American people by using our federal workers essentially as hostages in some political game to save their own backside. That‘s how I see it.”
