Alabama Senator Katie Britt delivered a scathing rebuke of Senate Democrats Monday as their political theatrics continue to paralyze the Department of Homeland Security, leaving American airports in chaos and our borders vulnerable after four weeks of partisan shutdown games.
While hardworking Americans face massive flight delays and security nightmares at airports across the nation, Senate Democrats are more concerned with playing politics over President Trump's Iran war powers than actually governing. Their threatened freeze of all legislative business has ground Washington to a halt – and patriots are paying the price.
"The American people are tired of these political games," Britt declared, calling out the Democrats' shameless obstruction tactics. "While families are stranded in airports and our national security hangs in the balance, Senate Democrats are more interested in attacking President Trump than doing their jobs."
Democrats Put Politics Over Public Safety
The partial DHS shutdown has created a perfect storm of dysfunction that Democrats seem perfectly content to let continue. Airport security lines stretch for hours, federal agents work without pay, and critical homeland security operations remain hamstrung – all because the radical left can't accept Trump's constitutional authority as Commander in Chief.
This is exactly the kind of deep state resistance and Democratic obstruction that President Trump warned Americans about during his campaign. Instead of working with the administration to secure our homeland and keep travelers safe, Senate Democrats are manufacturing crisis after crisis to score cheap political points.
"The American people didn't elect Democrats to play games with our national security. They elected President Trump to drain the swamp and put America First."
Senator Britt's fierce defense of common-sense governance stands in stark contrast to the childish antics we're seeing from Chuck Schumer and his radical allies. While Democrats fiddle, America burns – and working families are left to clean up the mess.
How long will patriots have to suffer because Democrats refuse to let President Trump do the job he was elected to do? It's time for these Washington swamp creatures to put America before their anti-Trump obsession.
