Rep. Joe Neguse Slams Republicans Who Refused to Work During the Shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 03:26

Well, I'm not so sure they make much difference here, given the way in which Republicans are capitulating to every demand that President Trump makes. I think it is shameful. Shameful that the House has been in session for 12 days since August 3rd. 54 days out of session. You cannot possibly. Chairman, you've been in Congress for some time. You can't possibly defend a 54 day recess, the second longest recess in the modern history of the Congress. (03:26–03:37)
