Democrats’ New Litmus Test: Keep America Shut Down or Shut Up

The Democrats’ new litmus test just dropped: Keep the government shut down and hold Americans hostage at all costs. The alternative?  Bear the brunt of their radical socialist base.

Countless vulnerable House Democrats and candidates across the country are opposing the bipartisan Senate deal to get the government back up and running for the American people out of fear of their base eating them alive. And it has sparked a civil war within the party.

“The Democrat Party’s radical base has made their message clear: Shut down the government or shut up. House Democrats across the country are scrambling to oppose a bipartisan Senate deal to reopen the government, simply because they’re terrified of their own party’s socialist mob.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
