Democrat Shutdown Now Longest Ever

Democrats just made history for all the wrong reasons. They now own the longest government shutdown ever because they’d rather protect illegal immigrants and appease their radical base instead of paying American families and reopening the government.

• Food assistance at risk: Democrats are putting millions of low-income moms and families on edge as food stamps, like SNAP and WIC, are threatened.
• Troop pay jeopardized: Democrats are playing political games with military paychecks.
• Federal workers going unpaid: Families across the country are missing pay thanks to Democrats’ hostage-taking.
• Air travel threatened: Air traffic controllers are working without pay, risking delays and disruptions nationwide.

“Democrats put their radicals ahead of families and paychecks. Food stamps are on the chopping block, federal workers are missing pay, troop pay is thrown into uncertainty, and air travel is at risk as air traffic controllers go without pay. Democrats are now responsible for the longest shutdown in history, and Americans won’t forget.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
