They came to the meeting only to talk about their borderless bill. and walked out when the facts about the border crisis began to be presented to the media.
The White House official told TheDC that both Pelosi and
Schumer refused to hear out Nielsen’s briefing and instead advocated for
two solutions to end the government shutdown. Neither of the Democratic
options would provide the additional funding for border security
requested by The White House.
“Democrats in the room either don’t care that there is a humanitarian
crisis on the border or just prefer ignorance. It was incredibly
disheartening that they don’t want to know the facts when making
policy,” DHS Spokeswoman Katie Waldman said in a statement to TheDC.
Representatives for Pelosi and Schumer did not respond to requests for comment.
