On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Outfront”, Sen Jeff Markle (D-OR) argued that the government is the fault of Shutdown Republican “because they do not want, originally, reverse themselves on these massive cuts for health care of Americans. Therefore, it is a Republican shutdown.”
Talking about the possibility of firing of government employees during government shutdown, Merkle said that “there is nothing about the shutdown giving new powers to the President. Therefore, if it is illegal without a shutdown, it is illegal with a shutdown. If you did not go through all those steps. Rehar. They had to bring back people.
He continued, “And by the way, the Republican is those who have closed the government because they do not want, originally, reverse themselves on these massive cuts for health care of Americans. Therefore, it is a Republican shutdown. No new law allows them to do anything that they could not do, okay, okay, without one.”
