Karoline Leavitt urges moderate Democrats to "step up": "They need to vote for this clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open—that they voted for as recently as March... very soon, the American people, and their constituents back home... are going to start feeling the pinch of this Democrat-led shutdown."

@RapidResponse

Leader John Thune on Day 3 of the Democrat Shutdown: "It's all about President Trump and the Democrats needing to pick a fight to satisfy their Far Left political base, Far Left activist organizations, who are the tail wagging the dog right now. That's all this is about."

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt message to Democrat mayors: "They should do the right thing by their citizens. They should call POTUS, they should call the White House, and say, 'We want to work with you.' ... Since Monday, 153 arrests have been made in Memphis, including 5 gang members."

@RapidResponse

"Why are layoffs now necessary in this shutdown?"

Karoline Leavitt: "We are $37T in debt and the federal government is currently shut down. There is no more money... Democrats have given this Administration an unenviable choice."

@RapidResponse

@RapidResponse

"It's a war... This is a full government effort to shut down these terrorists — and we will have success," says Todd Blanche on Antifa.

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists... The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Portland is different — that's a bunch of paid insurrectionists. You do have a lot of paid people in Chicago, too. I believe the politicians are under threat because there's no way somebody can say things are wonderful in Chicago... We're going to straighten it out."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Through the spray of raging combat and the fog of naval war, America's sailors have proven time and again that our Navy does just the best job there is... We own the skies, we stalk the depths, and we RULE THE SEAS like nobody has ever ruled the seas."

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt smacks down Fake News Kaitlan Collins for denying Portland crime: "I would encourage you, as a reporter, to go on the ground and to take a look for yourself... You're probably talking to partisan Democrat officials who are opposed to everything this President does."

Karoline Leavitt: "What we saw take place on Friday... is truly remarkable. You've seen all sides of this conflict agree that this war needs to end, and agree to the 20-point framework that POTUS proposed. It's an incredible achievement, and the administration is working very hard to move the ball forward as quickly as we can."

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt: "This conversation about layoffs would not be happening right now if the Democrats did not vote to shut the government down... We are $37 trillion in debt and the government is not receiving any cash, so someone has to look at the balance sheet."

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt on the Democrat Shutdown: If Democrats do not vote to open the government tonight, federal workers will not receive their next full paycheck, the special nutrition program for women and infants will run out of money, and service members will miss their next paycheck.

@RapidResponse

"Some of these [federal] workers work right here in Chattanooga, and face the risk of missing an upcoming paycheck."

Democrats are withholding pay from American citizens to fulfill their radical agenda of providing taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegals.
