ICYMI: @RepWalberg is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Let's actually review what happened.http://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2017/11/03/florida-delegation-at-the-center-of-polarized-vote-to-extend-chip/ …

HR 3922: raise Medicare premiums on the wealthy cut the Affordable Care Act Prevention and Public Health Fund Shorten the period during which consumers can pay late premiums
-
Very reasonably, most Dems opposed this! As
@repblumenauer noted, by demanding these as their price for CHIP, House Rs were creating a false tradeoff. (Sound familiar?)https://blumenauer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/blumenauer-statement-chip-reauthorization … -
There were a small number of cross-party votes on the bill. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll606.xml … But by that measure, Senate opposition to
@RepWalberg & co's funding bill is also bipartisan. -
As for HR 3922, it was referred to a Senate committee on 11/6/17. Nothing happened since. (Reminder: GOP controls what's voted on & when.) https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/3922/actions?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22hr3922%22%5D%7D&r=1 …

So, when
@RepWalberg claims a House bill which has sat untouched in the (GOP-majority) Senate since 11/6 is a shutdown victim… ummm… -
Apparently the
#TrumpShutdown is not only the 1st shutdown when 1 party controlled WH House & Senate… it's also the 1st time-traveling shutdown.

Jesus Christ you are shameless. Trying to cover up the GOP failures despite controlling the house Senate and White House you can't keep govt running.

7/ Wrong on Healthcare and Kids: Voted NO to extend CHIP to cover 6M more kids. (Jan 2008) What a lying hypocritical political hack you turned out to be. You've consistently turned your back on the most needed, defenseless kids.

Nice try at deflection Tim. We are all victims of an incompetent president that doesn’t know what what policy he wants.

Don’t Republicans control the Finance Committee in the Senate? Isn’t it their job to advance the bill for a vote? How is this the Democrats’ fault?

When all you can talk about is who to blame, you're part of the problem. And Putin has joined in support of your cause.
