Thune pans Democrats' shutdown stance as 'borderline pathological,' 'like a disease'

FOX first: Senate majority leader John Thune, RS.D., Senate democrats with the base of a political victory to take a political victory to close and trying to prevent it, he said.

In an interview with FOX News Digital, Thune, Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer, DN.Y. He argued that the Democrats, led by the GOP, were not a real reason not to support the short -term government financing extension “the left”.

Thunde said that when the Democrats last joined the Republicans to keep the government open, Schumer and Caucus had made a “very different argument” to prevent the closure of a partial government, but the movement was not popular with its political soles.

“Now it comes to the point where its soles are located [has] It has so much impact on the party, and according to the Trump administration, they demand a lot to resist and fight everything that they cannot see straight. “He said.

“This is a pathological at the border. Like a disease,” he continued. “They are just – this is something they are impressed with, and I think it really turns their visions. And I think they are at risk of putting themselves into a position that they see as a party trying to prevent the financing of the government.”

At the beginning of this week, the Parliament republicans introduced the Stopgap bill, known as a continuous decision (CR), which will keep the government open until November 21st.

The bill does not have “clean”, that is, the Partisan policy or expenditure rider, the deputies, the judicial branch and the security measures for the management and the DC’s budget saves to support security measures for financing for Washington.

While the house under the control of the Republic is expected to cross the bill on Friday, the Senate is a different story. Although Thune commands the majority in the upper room, he will need Senate democrats to support the bill. And so far, they don’t bud.

Trump, republicans to make a constant decision to prevent the closure of a government

Thunde claimed that the bill was everything that the Democrats-the President Joe Biden controls the Senate-a clean, short-term invoice. But now the issue at hand is a matter of communication.

Schumer accused Thune of not speaking more broadly to himself or with the Senate Democrats, and tagged GOP’s partisan efforts led by President Donald Trump to prevent the closure of a partial government.

But last week, Schumer and GOP were prepared to change the rules of the Senate to explode the blockade of the Democrats Trump candidates.

Thunde went to Schumer to discuss the ongoing talks between the Republicans and the Democrats at an appropriate agreement since then, but remembered that the democratic leader had brushed him.

“He couldn’t get out quickly without talking, Thunde said. He continued: “He was running away from the ground. So, there was definitely the opportunity to say, ‘We talk about a CR and how we would finance the government. I think it is more political stance.”

“He had to work like this. But the way Schumer loves his work, and I think it’s a part of the business model, go behind the closed doors, write it, you know, we’re doing business, not in the darkness of the night.”

The Senate Democrats, on Wednesday night on the night of the GOP’s invoice, Clean CR, including a priority, including a full -time expanded obamacare premium subsidies, to permanently expand the “large, beautiful invoice” medicaid sections and back to NPR and PBS canceled financing back.

Thune, the democrats in a short -term extension “does not fit there” forced some of the issues, especially for health insurance tax loans to find an agreement on the conversations, he said.

Nevertheless, he saw the resistance of the Democrats as “serious”, considering that the ultimate goal of short -term extension is to pass the dozen expenditure bills to finance the government, which has not been drawn in the Congress since the 1990s.

The Assembly and the Senate are currently working on a forward way for the three expenditure bills where both rooms pass. Thunde hoped that if the deputies could prevent a partial closure, the work could continue with the remaining nine financing bills.

“This will test the seriousness of what they want a real allowance process and the seriousness of whether they have a bilateral path to finance the government.” He said.

“And if the Democrats give us consent to them to ride and work with us, we can experience a two -party process on the ground, as we do with the other three, and we can finance most of the government in an old -fashioned way, so as it should be done.”

However, before any of them happens, the bill needs to go to the upper room. Thune leaves the door open for the Senate’s weekend work, but September 30 is approaching rapidly.

The Congress also takes a break planned to observe the Jewish New Year next week, and the majority of Republicans will be in Arizona for the commemoration ceremony of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

There are several procedures in the Senate to be discussed, which reduces the process further. Ultimately, Thune believed it would be “connected to democrats”.

“If they want to vote later, and our members – if the Democrats will fight us and make it difficult to do it – they can decide, let’s set it for the vote.” He said. “When we go back here and stand up on the date of the deadline, when it is real, we use live ammunition.”

Fox News Digital reached Schumer’s office to comment, but he didn’t hear it right away.
