Troops nearly went unpaid because of Nellie Pou’s politics
Without President Trump’s swift action, military families would have missed a paycheck, all because Nellie Pou refused to reopen the government. She was willing to let our soldiers go without pay rather than give up her partisan demands.
President Trump stepped in and found a way to protect troop pay. Pou didn’t and wouldn’t.
“Out of touch Democrat Nellie Pou was ready to let military families miss pay. She put illegal immigrants first and our troops last. President Trump found a way to save troop pay, Nellie Pou and Democrats couldn’t be bothered.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
