Rep. Jodey Arrington: Democrats Undermining American Will with Government Shutdown Tactics

Accusations of Disingenuous Tactics

• 🎯 Rep. Jodey Arrington accuses Democrats of rejecting a clean CR and shutting down the government for disingenuous reasons.

Policy Proposals and Spending Concerns

Political Motivation Behind the Shutdown
