Pelosi, Schumer: 'Height of irresponsibility and political cynicism' if GOP rejects funding deal
By Jordain Carney - 12/31/18 05:35 PM EST

Congressional Democratic leadership sent a warning shot to Republicans on Monday saying it would be the "height of irresponsibility and political cynicism" if they reject a plan to end the 10-day government shutdown.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged Republicans to back their plan to fully reopen the government or risk being "complicit" in the partial shutdown.

“If Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans refuse to support the first bill, then they are complicit with President Trump in continuing the Trump shutdown and in holding the health and safety of the American people and workers’ paychecks hostage over the wall," Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement.

That would require DEM votes.

This comes 10 days after Democrats rejected a plan to avoid the shutdown altogether.

This is the Schumer Shut-down.  Make them own it.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
