When You Lose ABC News, You Know the Dems' DHS Shutdown Narrative Is Trash, But There's a Catch

There have been cracks in the media’s tolerance of the Democratic Party’s stance on the Department of Homeland Security shutdown. It’s almost as if the Left wants a devastating terror attack because that’s the risk. Sure, long security lines at the airport are an immediate inconvenience, but the homeland’s key agency amid Operation Epic Fury and terrorist reprisals remains shut down.

On ABC News last Sunday, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) was pressed by host Jonathan Karl, who did not let the Maryland Democrat sidestep the simple fact that Democrats are responsible for the DHS shutdown and have shouldered most of the blame:

This exchange comes despite Friday’s chaos caused by congressional Republicans over the measure to reopen DHS: the Senate passed DHS funding by voice vote, but left ICE and Border Patrol unfunded, then left town. The House GOP didn’t find that acceptable, so it passed a 60-day CR instead. Both chambers recessed until April 13.

The Senate is not in Recess.  Thune called another Pro Forma Session, to prevent the President from making any Recess Appointments.  Same old shit.

You have to ask yourself *Whose side is Thune on*?

What a disappointment he turned out to be..
