“Leverage”

Democrats are finally admitting their true intention of their government shutdown and coalescing around the talking point: They shut down the government for political “leverage.”

Just take a look at the recent comments from Democrats Katherine Clark, Bernie Sanders, Chris Coons, and, most recently, Josh Harder.

“Democrats’ new ‘leverage’ talking point is as despicable as it is revealing: they’re bragging about inflicting pain on working families to score political points. The American people are sick and tired of their livelihoods being treated like poker chips in a casino.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
