Cornyn on Shooting at Dallas ICE Facility, Schumer Shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 08:24

This is what he said just last year about a government shutdown where is that man today? Today I'll tell you. He's engaging in a reckless partisan posturing while Republicans are proposing a responsible alternative. Again, This is not a permanent a vote on a permanent policy, but rather a stopgap measure to get us to a place where we need to be when it comes to the appropriations process. But he's willing to impose the very costs that he warned about on the American people and our seniors in order to score political points with his progressive radical base. (08:24–08:37)
