We are 21 days into the Democrat Shutdown, Americans are seeing the real reason Senate Democrats refuse to reopen the government.
As reported in The Hill, Democrat senators are “terrified of getting the guillotine” from their far-left base if they vote to pass the clean, non-partisan, 24-page House-passed funding bill that keeps the government open through November 21.
One Democrat senator admitted: “People are going to get hammered if they vote for the House-passed bill to reopen the government.”
Another insider told The Hill: “We would have enough votes to reopen the government if people were not terrified of getting the guillotine.”
That’s the truth: Democrats aren’t voting their conscience or doing what’s best for our troops, veterans, and working families, they’re voting out of fear of political retribution from the far-left activists running their party.
House Republicans already passed a clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution that funds essential services, protects national security, and guarantees pay for those who serve. Senate Democrats have blocked it ten times.
Every day this shutdown drags on, service members, federal employees, and small businesses pay the price, because Senate Democrats are too afraid of their own base to do the right thing.
