Today House Democrats for the third time voted AGAINST paying federal workers as negotiations continue. I asked the House Democrat Majority Leader a simple question: how can Democrats claim to support workers when they refuse to pay them and instead use them as political pawns?
The reality: Democrats won't put up a dime for a wall that stops criminals & drugs from pouring over our border—but instead passed a bill that sets aside taxpayer money for foreign organizations that provide abortions. They'll fund abortions, but not our security. #priorities
Even several of Nancy Pelosi's House Democrats are acknowledging that a physical barrier is necessary to solve the crisis at our southern border. What will it take for Nancy Pelosi to put aside her commitment to obstructing @realDonaldTrump & face reality? We need a border wall.
Democrats claim to want open negotiations—but after a group of them went to meet with @realDonaldTrump, their own leadership said they weren't authorized to make a deal. It's clear: no Democrat is authorized to make a deal because they'd rather block @POTUS than find solutions.
Now Democrats are rejecting @realDonaldTrump's offers before he even makes them. Stop the foolishness! The only way to solve this is to actually negotiate with each other. Until Democrats are willing to talk, progress is impossible.
If Democrats are going to reject what experts tell us they need to secure our border, at some point they have to tell the American people what it is they are actually for, and put an offer on the table. Enough.
