Sen Ted Cruz: The Government Will Reopen When Schumer's Temper Tantrum Ends

Sen Ted Cruz on Life, Liberty and Levin. “The real reason we're having the shutdown is Chuck Schumer is in a political crisis. A couple of months ago, he agreed to allow the government to stay open, and his left wing base got furious with him. He is looking over his left shoulder, terrified that AOC is going to primary him, and so this is a temper tantrum. This is Chuck Schumer and the Democrats saying we hate Donald Trump, and we hate Donald Trump so much we are going to shut the government down. The government will reopen when Schumer's temper tantrum ends, but this is pure political theater trying to guard his left base.”
