Karoline Leavitt: “A shutdown that puts vital health care and housing programs…”

“A shutdown that is costing our country $15 billion in GDP each week that it carries on. A shutdown that puts vital health care and housing programs for veterans at risk, a shutdown that puts assistance programs for vulnerable mothers and children at risk as well, and a shutdown that forces our men and women in uniform to currently work without pay. This is a travesty. This shutdown is also being driven by the left's fear of the activist groups they are reportedly coordinating with. This entire Democrat shutdown is, quite frankly, shameful.” (01:04–01:20)
