Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., told Newsmax that Democrats in Congress are focused on themselves.
Mills told “The Chris Salcedo Show” on Monday that the failure of Senate Democrats to approve a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government open affects everyone. “This is impacting the nation. And they’re actually putting party over people.”
He said Democrats want to force spending issues they earlier lost. Even Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said this is the wrong approach to take.
“You’ve heard Sen. Fetterman,” he said, “talk about the fact that if they want to have a discussion on the sunset clause of Obamacare, then that’s a separate thing that you don’t hold hostage the American people, and especially our military, our ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement], our CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection], our air traffic controllers.”
He said that is clear evidence of the Democratic Party’s “dissension in the ranks.”
He also said Democrats need to get down to business and reopen the government with the CR so real spending policy discussions can continue.
“This has no policy riders. This has no additional financial funding,” said Mills.
“The House has already passed the National Defense Authorization Act for our military, as well [as the] State Reauthorization Act to look at necessary cuts to things like ‘U.N. Useless Nations’, that had programs like setting up atheism in Nepal.”
He added, “So we have to identify the fact that this is completely on the Democrat Party, and the Republicans are there and ready to work.”
Mills posted on Monday, “Day 20 of the Schumer Shutdown.
“$400 million a day to pay 750,000 federal workers to sit at home, and Senate Democrats are still playing politics. Add that to the $1.5 trillion in reckless spending they want you to pay for.”
He concluded, “It’s time they put the country before their partisan agenda. Stop the games. Put AMERICAN people first.”
