‘This is insane’: Tom Emmer eviscerates Democrats for refusing to reopen the government

As the government officially enters the second week of the shutdown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota has a clear message to Democrats.

In a video obtained exclusively by Blaze News, Emmer ripped into Senate Democrats for putting partisan politics over the American people. Ever since Democrats refused to pass the Republicans’ clean, nonpartisan funding bill before the September 30 deadline, Congress has been in a stalemate.

‘All these Democrats are putting their political issue ahead of the American people.’

“The Democrats in the U.S. Senate have now voted ‘no’ on reopening the government seven times,” Emmer says in the video obtained by Blaze News. “… You’ve got over 400,000 Minnesotans who rely on SNAP to support themselves. Our air traffic controllers aren’t going to get paid. Our Customs and Border Patrol [sic] isn’t going to get paid.”

Notably, President Donald Trump’s administration has made attempts to minimize pain for those affected by the shutdown, such as making sure our military service members don’t miss their paychecks on October 15.

In the video, Emmer is seen standing in the United States Capitol near the Senate chamber, where over a half-dozen votes to reopen the government have been blocked by Democrats. Emmer also points out the harsh contrast between the two spending bills proposed by the respective parties.

“I’m standing in the rotunda. Behind me is where the Senate should be right now, voting to reopen the government,” Emmer says in the video. “Instead, seven times now they have voted no.”

The Republican-led spending bill is a bipartisan bill that continues funding the government at current spending levels through November 21. There are no ideological line items or anomalies in the GOP bill, whereas the Democrat bill is full of them. Emmer calls out Democrat Sen. Tina Smith, who shares his Minnesota constituency, for voting against every effort to keep the government open.

“You want to put illegals back on taxpayer-funded health care benefits while at the same time gutting our rural hospital fund of $50 billion that we created just this summer,” Emmer says of Smith.

“All these Democrats are putting their political issue ahead of the American people,” Emmer continues in the video. “This is insane, and it’s wrong.”

“Our message is clear. Democrats: Reopen the government. Let’s get back to work. Put the people before your politics. Stop hurting Americans. Let’s get back to work and finish the job that we were all sent here to do.”
