Relief, Retreat from Self-Made Crisis: Congressman Doggett on Trump ending Trump Shutdown
Washington, D.C. — Congressman Lloyd Doggett released the following statement in reaction to President Trump's announcement that he would end the shutdown he insisted on and would agree to a short-term funding bill without wall funding:
"After 35 days of anguish, federal workers and all whom they serve, finally get some overdue relief. Now, we need President Trump's Republican enablers to help us prevent Valentine's Day heartbreak in 21 days when Trump threatens another shutdown. While Trump belatedly relented on his self-created crisis, he has not yet renounced his tactic of using federal employees and their families' suffering as negotiating leverage. The biggest continuing crisis this country faces is the one Trump can see in the mirror."
