‘The Murderers Are Still Out There,’ But Democrats Don’t Care, Rep. Steve Scalise Says

Democrats know that their government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is hurting and endangering Americans - but they just don’t care - House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said Thursday.

“You're seeing Democrats that just want chaos to appease the radical base, the Mamdani wing of their party. That's who's driving the Democratic Party today,” Scalise said in an interview with Newsmax:

“They hate Donald Trump and they want chaos.

“They don't care if it affects people adversely. You see it. They know that families are waiting four hours at airports, missing flights, you know, not being able to make vacations or funerals or weddings.

“They don't care.”

“But oh, by the way, the murderers are still out there, as we saw in Chicago, another horrible death, a young, beautiful girl shot down by an illegal who Joe Biden and Democrats let in,” Scalise said, referring to the murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien previously released twice by the sanctuary city.

“And Democrats are voting to keep those borders open and let more murderers into our country,” Scalise said:

“Democrats want to defund the police. They want lawlessness. They want open borders. And they're defending the criminals who come here illegally and harm Americans. It's insane.”

“Whose side are these Democrats on, by the way, when they would rather side with violent criminal illegals over Americans who want to be safe and TSA agents who are just doing their job?” Scalise asked.
