Judge Jeanine Pirro: 'Nancy Pelosi, you're a shutdown hypocrite'

Politicians are elected to represent us. They are here to protect our interests over their political interests. Refusal to try to work toward compromise is putting politics over people.

President Trump has been at the White House virtually every day working and waiting and trying to make a deal – bending, compromising and offering solutions. The Democrats not only disrespect him, they sometimes don’t even show up. They’ve refused his every overture, put a stake in the ground, proving that politics are more important than putting people back to work.

And as 800,000 federal employees face the loss of a second paycheck this Tuesday, the Democrats disregard their distress by not negotiating to end the partial government shutdown. And that, my friends, is a problem.

It’s even bigger than that. They refuse to negotiate for people who live paycheck-to-paycheck. They don’t consider Americans whose lives, safety, economy, and social service agencies are drained by these uninvited illegal immigrants.

Saturday the president offered yet another compromise to reopen the government: There will be no concrete wall, only steel slat barriers; $5.7 billion for it; $805 million for drug detection technology; $800 million for humanitarian assistance; almost 3,000 additional border patrol agents; 75 new immigration judges; and a three-year extension for TPS and DACA.

The president described in clear and direct language the human crises ranging from 300 of our children dying every week from heroin, 90 percent of which comes through those porous Mexican borders.

I would love to comment on this one but every other word would be a cuss word. Pelosi need not blame anyone but herself and Shumer for this shutdown going on and on. They are not even willing to do anything unless it is their way. Well President Trump keep everything shut down, we are out here behind you all the way on this.

If I were in Trumps shoes I would make no more attempts to get Pelosi/Schumer and her band of idiots to come to the table. When they finally made an attempt to meet with him, their effort would be ignored, what THEY DID TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND OUR SAFETY WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY, it will not be a blemish on Trump. Let the whole country go down on them. They are traitors to the ones they have put out of work, they left the people along the border more vulnerable, the bloods of innocents they have left to be murdered will be Nancy's legacy not her expense paid vacations while everyone else pays the price.
