House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is expressing the belief that Republicans will cave to Democrats, attributing that prediction to “public sentiment.”
He didn’t mention, however, that it was the Democrats who shut down the government for political purposes.
Given the way that the president has been tweeting memes about you, has been in your words, in the words of Democrats, already dismantling health care, what makes you think that he will negotiate anything?” a reporter asked Jeffries. “What makes you think that he and Republicans will cave to you?”
“Public sentiment. At the end of the day, the public knows that Donald Trump and Republicans have shut the federal government down and that they’re continuing to engage in the chaos and the cruelty and the corruption that we’ve seen from this administration, from day one of the presidency,” Jeffries replied.
“Again, this is, this is the first week of their shutdown, but we’ve had months of chaos and cruelty unleashed on the American people, and the American people are paying close attention, and they know that it was Donald Trump and Republicans who have shut the government down,” he claimed, despite the fact that some Democrats have openly admitted that they shut down the government to fight for healthcare for illegal immigrants.
