A Reaction to Trump speech by Bernie Sanders!
2020 Democrats focus on federal workers Trump talked about “wealthy politicians” building fences around their homes.
2020 Democrats focused on federal workers. President Donald Trump had one particular line in his Tuesday night border security address that will likely become fodder for Democratic attack ads in 2020. Some have suggested that a barrier is immoral Trump said.
Then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates around their homes, They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside but because they love the people on the inside. While Trump was touting the example of wealthy politician, building walls around their homes to make a case for his own wall along the southern border with Mexico, a slate of likely 2020 Democrats slammed him for harming working people specifically, 800,000 federal employees going without paychecks as a government shutdown over the border wall enters its third week. The message of 2020 Democrats is clear.
The president is actively hurting America’s federal workers with his self-made crisis. Not only did 2020 Democrats focus on federal employees who are currently going without pay, they also spoke of their concern about needy Americans who could be without food assistance, federal housing, or other important programs if the shutdown drags on.
Only one possible presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont delivered his own televised addressbroadcast over social media. But much of the rest of the big names in the likely Democratic field many of them Sanders’s fellow senators hammered Trump over Twitter for the continued shutdown. Our federal employees deserve to be treated with respect, not held hostage as political pawns, Sanders said during his address.
As working people, many of them are wondering how they will pay their mortgages, how they will feed their kids, and how they’ll be able to go to the doctor. Sanders called on Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to take quick action to open up the government, echoed by many of his colleagues said to also be eyeing presidential bids. Sens. Kamala Harris D-CA and Cory Booker D-NJ both referenced the thousands of federal workers and their families who are going without their first paychecks this week.....
