Democrat Senator Dick Durbin exposed Schumer’s shutdown plan during remarks on the Senate floor on Monday.
In a stunning admission, Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the Democrats’ shutdown strategy was to starve children.
After 40 days of a government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats caved and joined the Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government.
Durbin was one of the eight Democrats who joined the Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government on Sunday evening.
Democrat Senators and Independents who caucus with Democrats voted in favor: King (ME) Fetterman (PA), Cortez Masto (NV), Shaheen (NH), Hassan (NH), Rosen (NM) Kaine (VA) and Dick Durbin (IL).
“Many of my friends are unhappy. They think we should have kept our government closed indefinitely to protest the policies of the Trump administration,” Durbin said.
Durbin admitted Schumer’s strategy was to starve children.
Durbin continued, “But I cannot accept a strategy which wages political battle at the expense of my neighbor’s paycheck or the food for his children.”

CNN also said the quiet part out loud on Sunday evening and admitted the Democrats own the shutdown.
Funding for SNAP benefits ran out on November 1st because of the Schumer Shutdown.
The fight over SNAP funding is still playing out in the courts as Congress finalizes legislation to reopen the government.
The US Supreme Court on Friday evening temporarily halted a lower court’s order requiring the Trump Administration to fund SNAP benefits for November.
Schumer shamelessly continued to blame Trump and Republicans for the government shutdown on Monday morning.

Many love lying; however, even a fool will realize when stupidity sown; maybe his neighbor’s apple pie and maybe slightly harsh words, Dick Changed his mind and that of six others, hurrah… Many Americans are like a good neighbor, they will tell you that hard truth, what is on their minds and that of their family and friends… My Grandfather Migrated to America and started working for the plantation, single at the time and with skills he learned as a young boy growing up in an agricultural family thousand of miles from where he started working for his livelihood and soon there after a wife. After many years, there was a wife, seven sons and two daughters. The economy in Hawaii required more than just working for someone else or a large company, grandfather save, purchased land, and more with sacrifice and aided by the growing family… Selling meat to neighbors and later to stores and then the big buy; Standard Oil Station right across the highway from Pearl Harbor in 1936… Lots happened after that and I miss him as I could see a tad of some politicians in my Granddad.. Honest, kept his word, good to neighbors and supported his adopted country even when they want to place him and his family in an Interment Camp! After WWII, less one son and sons that were awarded The Metal of Honor, The Silver Cross, Silver Stars, Bronze Stars, numerous Purple Hearts and Unit Citations and later Honored as The Most Decorated American Fight Unit during World War Two. God is Good and Blessed America; God Bless President Trump! God Bless our Troops and Happy Veterans Day!
None of this matters - the average American will be told it's all Trump's fault.
