WASHINGTON,
D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released
the following statement after 45 Senate Democrats again voted to defund the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS):
“As
Iran-backed threats escalate, Democrats are refusing to fund the Department of
Homeland Security and the law enforcement officers who protect our country,” said
Chairman Gruters. “Instead of standing with those who protect America,
Democrats are bending to their extreme, anti-law enforcement base while Iran’s
regime threatens American lives. Their shutdown weakens our defenses, puts
American lives directly at risk, and plays into the hands of terrorists who
want to harm our country.”
