As you may have heard, some North Carolina congressional lawmakers have chosen to reject their paychecks during the government shutdown. But not GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers. And she offers an explanation as to why.

Republicans are desperate to co-opt the democrats in approving Trump's wall.

Republicans are desperate to co-opt the democrats in approving Trump’s wall.
According to Trump, there are/have been two ways for republicans to approve the wall without votes from the democrats.
He requested that Mitch McConnell use the nuclear option which would have allowed the Senate republicans to pass the $5billion plus that he wants. Mitch refused.
Now, he says he can declare a National Emergency to get the money he wants.
The GOP absolutely does not want complete credit for funding Trump’s wall.
Now Trump is holding our country hostage with his proud shutdown and falsely blaming the democrats.
He has had two years to get his republican majority Congress to do it under his leadership.
