Josh Riley’s priorities: appease activists, keep the government shut down

October 16, 2025

While House Republicans are focused on reopening the government and paying our troops, Josh Riley is teaming up with the far left crazies to plan what they’re calling a Hate America Rally in Ithaca this Saturday.

Instead of working to reopen the government he shut down, Riley is gearing up to appease his radical base, the same crowd that chants to defund the police, open the borders, and raise taxes on working families.

“Democrats like Josh Riley would rather march with radicals than work for Americans. The government is still closed because Democrats take orders from activists, not working families.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
