Democrats Dismiss Trump Shutdown Offer

January 19, 2019 at 2:53 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Even before President Trump’s shutdown remarks on Saturday, Democratic aides on the Hill were dismissing his planned shutdown compromise offer as inadequate, Axios reports.

Said one Democratic aide: “Dems were not consulted on this and have rejected similar overtures previously.”

Said another: “Similar inadequate offers from the Administration were already rejected by Democrats.”

New York Times: “Lawmakers also said Ms. Pelosi was livid about being forced to cancel a trip to Afghanistan and Brussels after the president denied her use of a military plane and then scuttled her attempt to fly commercially by publicly revealing her travel plans.”
