Trump budget director says Obama ‘weaponized’ shutdown and this time will be different
By Jordan Fabian - 01/19/18 11:30 AM EST

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Friday that if the government shuts down, it won’t be as bad as 2013 because former President Obama’s administration did things to make it worse.

Mulvaney said “the Obama administration weaponized the shutdown in 2013” for political purposes by closing popular attractions like national parks. He claimed the Trump administration isn’t planning to do the same.

The message appeared to conflict with President Trump's claims in the past few days the shutdown could have a devastating effect, especially for the military.

The blame game was in full swing at the White House, just hours before government funding is set to run out.

Naive comment. The difference is the dems are begging for a shutdown, they need to pay a political price. At least rhetorically. This guy just made that impossible.
