Bernie Sanders Can’t Name A Single Benefit Of Dems Travel-Crushing DHS Shutdown When Pressed

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders could not name a single benefit from the Democrats’ partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during a Tuesday interview.

The Democrats have kept the DHS shutdown going for over a month as the party pushes 🛂Immigration demands. The extended funding halt has had a major impact on Americans, most noticeably in enormous travel delays as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents have gone unpaid or simply left the job.

On Tuesday’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” on CNN, Sanders said Democrats are making a political point with the prolonged shutdown that ICE is “out of control,” but could not name any specific thing that has been achieved.

“Do you believe that Democrats have achieved anything as a part of the DHS shutdown?” CNN host Kaitlan Collins asked.

“They try to make the point that ICE is out of control. ICE is out of control and it needs fundamental reforms,” Sanders said.

“And did they make that point in your view?” Collins asked.

“Well, you’ll have to judge that. I think they’re trying very hard,” Sanders replied.
