    Kevin McCarthy statement: "There is only one question for Senate Democrats: Why are you holding our troops and the government hostage for an unrelated immigration fight?”

        This is a lie. Military is considered an essential service and is funded regardless of a shutdown. But McCarthy knows this.

        To which the correct question should be "why are you lying?" But I bet no media representative will ask it.

        Language specifically designed to link immigrants to crime (hostage taking) and making Democrats seem like accomplices in some sort of attack on white America.

        There is only one question for POTUS and everyone in Congress: what could each and everyone of you done to prevent this monumental embarrassment? The inability to compromise is pushing our great nation to a precipice. And we are tiring of the DC blame game. #protectourdemocracy

        @GOPLeader @gop hey McCarthy you voted to shut down the gov in 2013, you lack any credibility in calling others out now for doing the same thing. The #trumpshutdown is on the shoulders of the GOP you control the power. Country over Party is something the GOP has forgotten

        Didn't President Obama make sure the troops were paid during the 2013 shut down? Sounds like Trump dropped the ball again.

        Holding children and dreamers hostage is ok tho? McCarthy is another grotesque excuse of a rep.
