Sen. John Fetterman seems clueless on why his own party is refusing to fund DHS, causing the partial shutdown of the government..
The Democratic Party is leading the charge, refusing to fund DHS unless ICE makes drastic changes. Those changes include requirements agents unmask, wear body cams and get judicial warrants, not administrative ones.
The Pennsylvania Senator went on Fox News Friday to bash his own party since he was the lone Democrat to vote to fund the DHS.
Trump mouthpiece Kayleigh McEnany gleefully egged Fetterman on so he could do just that.
“You were the lone vote to fund DHS. We know ICE is already funded,” McEnany said. “Not a single other Democrat voted to fund TSA.”
“What’s your message to all of your colleagues?” she asked.
FETTERMAN: Well, my it’s just like, hey, I stand with all the 270,000 government workers that are not going to get paid again, again, this is the second time.
We, every Democrat know that shutting DHS down will not have no impact on ICE.Even the director confirmed to my face in a hearing just this week saying it has no impact because they already were funded with the big beautiful bill that I did not vote for that.
But what I will say that’s now why are all the Democrats going to shut down our entire DHS, where FEMA and the Coast Guard and our cybersecurity agency, when we all know that it has no impact on ICE or the kinds of changes that we all we want to reform ICE.
