Senate Democrats shut down the government over a bill they have no issues with—a bill that keeps government open and extends health insurance to nearly 9 million children. They opposed a bill they don't even oppose. We do some crazy things in Washington, but this is madness.

In 2013—the last time we found ourselves in this position—here is what Senator Schumer said: "No matter how strongly one feels about an issue, you shouldn't hold millions of people hostage." He was right! You shouldn't. But that's exactly what he and his party are doing now.

Senator Schumer said in 2013: "I believe in immigration reform. What if I persuaded my caucus to say, 'I'm going to shut the government down...unless I get my way?' It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis." "Politics of idiocy." His words, not mine.
