Democrats are the party of shutdowns. They shutdown our country for almost two years during COVID.

Democrats LOVE shutdowns!

@RepMTG

Joe Biden and Antony Blinken have depleted the US military weapons supply by sending BILLIONS of dollars of OUR weapons to Ukraine.

My amendment would prevent the Biden administration from putting our national security at risk to fuel their proxy war in Ukraine.

@RepMTG

There is no comparison between Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, two incredibly successful business people long before Trump ever ran for office, to criminal Hunter Biden, who got paid MILLIONS because of his father Joe Biden, who delivered political favors by abusing his power.

@RepMTG

FINALLY!

After weeks and weeks of demanding for Ukraine funding to be removed from OUR defense bill, the House is about to vote on a rule to do it.

This is a victory for our country and puts America First.

Now, we just need to pass my amendment to remove the BLANK CHECK for Ukraine from the State and Foreign Ops approps bill.

@RepMTG

Hunter Biden sexually exploited several women in violation of the Mann Act.

Hunter told one of his victims that his father was VP and showed her a picture of Joe Biden with President Obama.

Hunter’s victim was terrified.

Why won’t Joe Biden’s DOJ respond to the inquiry into Hunter’s victim’s rights requested by Rep. James Comer and myself?

@RepMTG

For weeks, I’ve been calling for taxpayer funding to Ukraine to be pulled out of OUR appropriations bills.

On Tuesday, I protested on the steps of the Capitol.

Tonight the House answered my call, we successfully voted to strip $300 million to Ukraine from the Defense Appropriations Act.

This is a victory for the American people and for peace.

@RepMTG

The GOP-led House just passed our Department of Defense appropriations bill to defend OUR country with ZERO Ukraine spending and my amendment to FIRE Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

It’s a great bill for our military and I’m proud we were able to remove funding for Ukraine and defend America!

@RepMTG

Thank you Rep. Matt Gaetz and all 117 Republicans who voted in support of my amendment to stop sending Americans hard-earned tax dollars to Ukraine!

And thank you to House leadership for removing Ukraine funding from OUR DOD appropriations bill.

We need peace in Ukraine, not war!!

@RepMTG

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has been a failure for our military and for America.

Last night, the DOD appropriations bill passed the House with my Holman rule amendment to reduce his salary to $1.

But even that’s too much..

@RepMTG

Imagine if Congress started to function like a successful business instead of a failing government playing the same games no matter which party is in charge.

We would stay in Washington in August & September to finish appropriations before the Sep 30th shutdown instead of going home every August and half of September.

Then we instead would go home for Thanksgiving through New Years to spend the holidays with our families and our districts because we would be finished with our constitutional duty of funding the government.

Not only a model of success for the country, but imagine how good that would be for our families, who constantly have their birthdays and special occasions tossed to the side because we “have” to be in Washington.

Or how about if we actually worked normal work hours, like 8 am to 5 pm, voting and introducing amendments, instead of not starting first votes until late afternoon or evening, and then being forced to stay late and not walking off the House floor until early morning hours well after midnight.

Members of Congress would be healthier and staff, especially desk clerks, would be happier as well.

I don’t think up to the deadline pressure produces good results and decades of America last policies and $33 Trillion dollars in debt is proof that Washington’s same old tricks just don’t work.

I came to Congress to make it work for the American people and that is exactly what I will continue to do.

Things have to change.

@RepMTG

I voted NO on the stop-gap CR to fund the government that would be dead on arrival in the Senate and White House.

This is a government that’s weaponized against its political enemies. A government that puts Ukraine’s border above our own. And a government that isn’t working for OUR people.

I’m a successful business owner and I’ve always kept my business running.

But in the House, we went home for all of August and most of September.

We need to stay in Washington to pass our appropriations bills to fund the government the right way, not a CR the Democrat-controlled Senate would refuse to pass and Joe Biden would refuse to sign.

@RepMTG

The Democrats are the party of shutdowns.

They tyrannically shutdown the American people during COVID and they are forcing a shutdown now.

Biden and Schumer said the House CR was dead on arrival because they refuse to shutdown the border and only want the government to stay open.

@RepMTG

Joe Biden and the Senate said the CR we voted on today in the House was dead on arrival.

That’s because Washington cares more about Ukraine than the American people.

Joe Biden is a hard NO, and until he starts to care about America, funding the government, and our border, we won’t get anywhere.

@RepMTG

Democrats don’t care about shutdowns, they tyrannically shutdown the country over COVID causing millions of jobs lost while taxpayer funded government paychecks kept flowing.

Democrats only care about defending Ukraine’s border and keeping our border open to the entire world.

@RepMTG

If the government shuts down tonight, I will refuse my paycheck until we’ve funded the government.

No member of Congress should be getting paid until we deliver for the American people and fund our government responsibly.

@RepMTG

Unreal.

Democrats on the House floor refusing to pass a clean CR because it does not fund Ukraine!!!

Democrats want a shutdown unless we send billions to Ukraine!!

Democrats are Ukraine first and AMERICA LAST!!!

@RepMTG

Democrats are shutting down the government because the clean CR has U.S. disaster relief but NO money for Ukraine!

Rep DeLauro needs to die her hair blue to match her yellow jacket she’s so Ukraine FIRST!!!

@RepMTG

Joe Biden treats Ukraine as the 51st state.

House Democrats treat Ukraine as the 51st state.

And the Senate, including Mitch McConnell, treats Ukraine as the 51st state.

House Democrats are ready to shut down OUR government if we don’t fund Ukraine’s.

@RepMTG

House Republicans have funded our military in the DOD appropriations bill. Not only that, it includes a raise for our troops.

The Democrat-controlled Senate should pass it immediately and Joe Biden should sign it into law, but they won’t because it doesn’t include any $$$ for Ukraine.

The Democrats are trying to shut down OUR government by putting the Ukraine military over our own.

@RepMTG

I'm voting against the CR because I'm not going to be part of a system of failure.

I'm not going to fund a government that has a weaponized Department of Justice that is constantly prosecuting President Trump, pro-life protesters, and anybody they deem a political enemy, all while ignoring the murders and rapes and nonstop crime that happens here in our nation's capital.

I'm not going to fund a government that doesn't care about our own border, but that worships Ukraine. And I think every American knows why, because Joe Biden took millions of dollars when he was Vice President doing political favors for Burisma.
