Rep. Tim Moore, R-N.C., warned Friday that a shutdown-driven lapse in Department of Homeland Security funding would send the wrong signal abroad — and he said Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has it right.
“Sen. Fetterman is spot on, and what’s sad is these Democrats who are voting to do this, to shut this down, they know that as well,” Moore said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “They know that they are jeopardizing the safety of Americans and American families by doing so.”
He then accused the Democrat lawmakers of putting partisan politics ahead of public safety.
“But they don’t care,” Moore said. “They are so beholden to the radical extreme that has just creeped in and taken over the Democratic Party they are literally willing to risk the lives and the safety of Americans here again, to try to score points and push this radical agenda.”
Moore argued that America’s adversaries are always watching for signs of domestic instability or weakness.
“Our enemies do not sleep, our enemies do not shut down,” he said. “And the fact that Democrats are basically siding with, making it easy for enemies to hurt us, should tell Americans all they need to know about where we are as a country.”
