Here’s the full context of what was really stated.
In a strong condemnation of both parties on Monday, the American Federation of Government Employees argued the shutdown is an “avoidable crisis” harming American families and workers across the nation.
“Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight,” Everett Kelley, president of the AFGE, wrote. “It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship.”
Kelly on Monday emphasized that federal workers will be unpaid and face layoffs.
“When the folks who serve this country are standing in line for food banks after missing a second paycheck because of this shutdown, they aren’t looking for partisan spin,” he said. “They’re looking for the wages they earned. The fact that they’re being cheated out of it is a national disgrace.”
“It’s time for our leaders to start focusing on how to solve problems for the American people, rather than on who is going to get the blame for a shutdown that Americans dislike,” Kelly said.
