By John Bowden - 01/19/18 04:19 PM EST
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez responded to a tweet from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) offering Democrats a choice for reaching a deal to fund the government by thanking McConnell for his "ransom note."
On Friday afternoon, Perez responded to a tweet from McConnell offering Democrats a choice between protecting Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients or Children's Health Insurance Program recipients in a bill that would prevent the government from shutting down at midnight Friday.
"#Senate Democrats have a choice to make. This should be a no-brainer..." McConnell tweeted Friday, noting that DACA expires in March whereas CHIP will be defunded at midnight.
