Rep. Moran criticizes Democrats for blocking funding

TYLER — .S. Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, voiced his opinion on Senate Democrats rejecting a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the government until Nov. 21. According to our news partner KETK, Democrats defeated the proposal with a 44-48 vote after initially trying to pass their own government fund resolution earlier this month. Now, the government faces the possibility of going into a shutdown on Tuesday if both parties cannot come to an agreement by midnight EST on Tuesday.
“House Republicans are standing tall with our military, veterans, families and first responders,” Moran said. “House Republicans passed a clean CR to fund the government, but Senate Democrats are blocking it from becoming law, just like the House Democrats tried to do. Democrats would rather shut down the government in pursuit of unreasonable demands like their $1 TRILLION partisan wish list.”
“We are doing well as a country so the last thing we want to do is shut it down, but a lot of good can come from shutdowns, we can get rid of a lot of things we didn’t want,” Trump said. “They would be Democrat things, but they want open boarders, they want men playing women’s sports, they want transgender for everybody, they never stop. They don’t learn, we won an election in a landslide and they just don’t learn, so we have no choice.”
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer took to X on Tuesday and expressed his disdain for the Republican party’s actions during this time.
“Republicans know the American people want the REPUBLICAN HEALTHCARE CRISIS fixed,” Schumer said. “But Republicans are about to shut the government down instead of fixing it.”
Senate Republican Leader John Thune took to his own X account and responded to Schumer’s clams against the Republican party.
“The clean, nonpartisan, House-passed CR is sitting at the desk in the Senate right now,” Thune said. “It could be picked up and passed, and the government would stay open. The ball is in the Democrats’ court. But Chuck Schumer wants a Schumer shutdown.”
