Rep. Ratcliffe: Democrats' Shutdown A Failure And Embarrassment
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) issued the following statement on the end of the Democrats' shutdown of the federal government:
"Today's vote proves that the Democrats' political games were, indeed, in vain. Chuck Schumer should be embarrassed that he forced a ruthless government shutdown in complete disservice to our military and at-risk children, only to buckle under the rightful frustrations of the American people just three days later. The selfish attempt of Senate Democrats to prioritize amnesty for illegal aliens over our men and women in uniform accomplished nothing. I'm glad their obstructionist tactics are finally over, so we can focus on serving the citizens we were sent here to represent."
