| Gingrich: ‘Schumer Shutdown' a ‘Major Mistake' ‐ Dems Pitted 700k Illegals Against Men, Women of U.S. Military |
| 2018-01-22 |
| [Breitbart] Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Democrats made a "major mistake" by shutting down the government. According to Gingrich, the shutdown is "not what the Democrats hoped for." "[T]he Democrats made a huge mistake because what they should have done was pass the defense appropriations bill for the whole year ‐ get it off the table, don’t threaten the men and women in uniform and their families,’ Gingrich told John Catsimatidis, host New York AM 970 radio’s "The Cats Roundtable." "Instead, they stumbled into a situation where the Schumer shutdown cuts off funding for the American military on behalf of trying to get a deal for 700,000 people who entered the U.S. illegally." He added, "I am totally opposed to holding up as hostage the families and the men and women in uniform who are risking their lives to protect this country." |

| #11 Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich seems to have some memory about Congress vs the President on shutdowns (and what internal polls say). |

| #10 If I ran a cable news station i'd ad a laugh track when the Dems spoke blatant lies. Could be a lot of fun. |

| #9 Bernie Sanders blames the Koch Brothers for the shutdown. He is a good example of comic relief. |

| #1 I hope POTUS and Newt talk often. At least once or twice per day would be fine. |
