Jayapal Responds to Trump

SEATTLE, WA – Representative Pramila Jayapal released the following statement in response to President Trump’s speech on Saturday:

“‘Deals’ that don’t provide any permanent solutions and that contain a wall are not real deals. The economic, political and personal costs of the Trump-McConnell shutdown are piling up. This latest proposal is not a serious offer. It’s time for the President to stop taking the country hostage, ask his Senate colleagues to vote on the same bill we approved last month and end the suffering once and for all.”
