By his own words, The President owns this shutdown. Stop the games. Open the government. Tell McConnell and your colleagues in the Senate to put the bill on the floor.

If you wanted this wall so much, you would have passed the money when the GOP ran all 3 branches of government last month. It's obvious that the GOP doesn't want the wall, either. So when will you stand up to @senatemajldr and @POTUS and act for your constituents?

The House sent over bills the GOP passed in December. It’s time for a search & rescue mission for Mitch McConnell. Trump has put the nation at risk & created a humanitarian crisis with the shut down. Open the gov & negotiate comprehensive border security & immigration reform.

Go back to 8th grade and read up on Congress’ ability to override a Veto.

Why not come together and override a veto-proof majority with a bill that doesn’t include a silly wall.

I’m one of you constituents. Don’t want a wall. Border security means more than just a wall. Stop playing partisan and OPEN THE DAMN GOVERNMENT.

So that’s the compromise? Have the House agree to vote for what the Senate wants?

You’re speaking to an empty room. Talk to your peers @marcorubio and @SenRickScottFL and have them push @senatemajldr for a vote on the house bills that have passed.
