Moreno Rips Democrats for Holding DHS Funding Hostage, Leaving Workers Unpaid

WASHINGTON - Today, Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) slammed Senate Democrats for their refusal to pay Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees during the confirmation hearing for DHS Secretary nominee Markwayne Mullin.

"We have 260,000 families that have not received a paycheck in over a month," said Senator Moreno."260,000 American citizen-families who have not received a paycheck in over a month. None of those people are in charge of policy. There's not one of those families that makes policy decisions, for the most part, that's on the people here. There isn't a single human being on this dais that has missed a paycheck. Every single one of us has gotten a paycheck the last 30 days and before that. And yet we sit here and do political theater."
