The ongoing Department of Homeland SecurityShutdown was the focus of an early morning post by President Donald Trump, who blamed the âRadical Leftâ for being âtotally unreasonable.â
Democrats were once again in Trumpâs crosshairs in an a post on Truth Social Wednesday.
The president posted Democrats must âpay a big priceâ in the midterms because of the DHS Shutdown.
âThe Democratâs purposeful DHS Shutdown is causing chaos at the airports,â Trump wrote. âThese Lunatics are being totally unreasonable in their Radical Left asks. They are FULLY TO BLAME, and must pay a big price, for the good of our Country, in the Midterm Elections. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!â
On Tuesday, Adam Stahl, acting deputy TSA administrator, said airports could âquite literally shut downâ if a funding deal is not reached.
Stahl said on âFox & Friendsâ the partial government Shutdown â which started Feb. 14 âhas forced TSA agents to work without pay.
So far, 366 TSA agents have resigned.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) refuted claims Republican senators reached out to discuss a DHS funding deal, calling it âa lot of bull.â
