CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “You said that Mike Johnson isn’t willing to sit down and have a conversation. Y’all did have a phone conversation, I believe you said earlier today. Who initiated that call?”
Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “It was a call from Mike Johnson. It was very brief and it wasn’t a substantive discussion in terms of finding a path forward.”
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “But was he calling to talk about the government shutdown?”
Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “I mean you could say that — that was in the ballpark.”
Hakeem just got caught LYING again!
Here are the SIMPLE FACTS about the Democrat Shutdown:
1️⃣ Democrat votes are REQUIRED to reopen the government.
2️⃣ Democrats have voted 13 TIMES to keep it closed.
3️⃣ Democrats refuse to fund the government unless we restore- $200 BILLION in health benefits for illegal aliens, BILLIONS for foreign projects, $500 MILLION for leftist media outlets, and huge CUTS to rural hospitals.
4️⃣ Democrats ADMIT they’re using the pain and suffering of the American people as “leverage,” while boasting that “every day gets better” for them.
🚨🚨Democrats are doing this to appease their far Left Marxist base —because they are more afraid of THEM than the American people.
Newsom: Half of our agricultural and 41% of our construction workers are illegals.
Ryan: "Do you feel that they're taking American jobs?"
Newsom: "I don't see many people like me jumping at those jobs."
