Senator Sheldon Whitehouse delivered a fiery Senate floor speech just before the U.S. government shutdown, blasting Republicans and the Trump administration for refusing to negotiate with Democrats. Whitehouse accused the GOP of wanting to “rule, not govern”, blaming them for inflicting “misery” on federal employees and millions of Americans.
He charged that Republicans are fixated on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA subsidies, while strategists like Russell Vought and right-wing billionaires push an agenda to sabotage government for the wealthy. Whitehouse also pointed to Republican hypocrisy on Senate rules, accusing them of repeatedly changing procedures for partisan gain while sneaking in “tricky” Medicare cuts.
Concluding, Whitehouse declared the shutdown “lands entirely at the feet of the Republican party” that controls the Senate, the House, and the presidency.
