Democrats Continue To Complain About Government Shutdown – But Refuse To Attend Meeting At White House

Trump is trying to work with Democrats, he is willing to negotiate. They on the other hand, are being completely unreasonable. Trump invited Democrat leaders to a meeting at the White House early this week and not a single one of them showed up.

Tantrums: Democrats Are Refusing to End the Shutdown by Boycotting Meetings at the White House

President Trump hosted a border security meeting at the White House Tuesday afternoon.

In an effort to make progress on the government shutdown, Trump invited Republican and Democrat lawmakers to attend with ideas. Not a single Democrat showed up. Their leaders, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, were also missing.

“As Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi refuse to negotiate, President Donald J. Trump and his team are working hard to find solutions to solve the humanitarian and national security crisis at the border and reopen the government. The President has a proposal on the table that includes additional technology at ports of entry, allows minors from Central America to seek asylum in their home country, and physical barriers between ports of entry made of steel instead of concrete,” Press Secretary Sarah Sanders released in a statement.

“Today, the President offered both Democrats and Republicans the chance to meet for lunch at the White House. Unfortunately, no Democrats will attend. The President looks forward to having a working lunch with House Republicans to solve the border crisis and reopen the government. It’s time for the Democrats to come to the table and make a deal.”

Democrats are going to pay a price for this behavior eventually. They cannot complain about the government shutdown and simultaneously refuse to negotiate in any way.
