Even though you're not hearing anything about it, some GOP Senators are trying to get the word out about the real consequences of the latest Democrat-led DHS shutdown.
Now in it's third week, the Dems shutdown has forced many front-line workers to report to work without any guarantee of when they will be paid. U.S. Senate Appropriations Chair Sen. Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Alabama), Chair of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security, detail a cross-section of implications for agencies affected by the funding lapse.
Topping the list, is the unthinkable defunding of the TSA.
"We've got the one agency that was created after 9/11 to ensure no 9/11 happened again" said Aaron Evans, president of Winning Republican Strategies, "Not only is it asinine, but it's also extremely reckless and dangerous for the American people."
Sadly, the mainstream media has stopped talking about it, which would not be the case if Democrats were in power.
"If Kamala Harris was president and we were in a conflict with Iran, and we had a terror attack in Austin and it was Republican Senators defunding DHS, playing petty political games with the lives of American citizens, it is all that would be on the news" Evans told KTRH.
But it is not, and that is why the Republicans are speaking out, as the Dems DHS shutdown approaches one month.
