Republican Rep. Peter King: ?We are the ones who shut down the government? | The Raw Story
So no more of the lies blaming the President or the Dems. The GOP shut it down and they will pay!
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R) bucked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his party’s standard talking points and told host Chris Wallace that Republicans “are the ones who shut down the government.”
“I’m talking basically about Ted Cruz, who was saying if we [voted in the House to defund] Obamacare, he could manage to both keep the government open and defund Obamacare,” King explained. “The fact is, it was done in the House and the government is now closed and Obamacare is going forward. This was a strategy that never could work. It was almost sort of a nullification, to say we’re going to shut down the government if we don’t defund a law that we don’t like.”
So no more of the lies blaming the President or the Dems. The GOP shut it down and they will pay!
