Jared Golden’s party calls Mainers’ pain “leverage”
October 23, 2025
In case you missed it, yesterday Democrat Jared Golden’s boss, Democrat Whip Katherine Clark, finally told the truth: Democrats shut down the government and are forcing families to suffer for political “leverage.”
“Out-of-touch Democrat Jared Golden’s party engineered a shutdown, then admitted that Americans’ pain is ‘leverage.’ People’s lives aren’t poker chips, enough is enough.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
