Rep. Nancy Mace Delivers Statement on Day 20 of the Government Shutdown

“Day 20 of the government shutdown. “What the Democrats want to do is, they want to put African locusts ahead of paying our troops. They want more than two million dollars to pay for insects in Africa. They want LGBTQI, alphabet soup, whatever, millions to go to those people, again, in the continent of Africa.  They want QT stuff in Honduras, feminine democracy, it has nothing to do with America. “In the meantime, what they’ve done is put our troop pay at risk. We have 34,000 troops here in South Carolina whose pay is at risk on November 1st. Thank God Donald Trump found some money to pay our troops on the 15th. I don’t know if he will be able to come up with that on the 1st, but they’re putting all these foreign insects even and LGBTQ stuff ahead of getting our troops paid, which, we’re also risking 25,000 federal employees getting furloughed, as well as our troops not getting paid November 1st. “It’s so un-American, what’s happening today in this country. “And just so you’re aware, if our troops aren’t getting paid, I’m not getting paid.” stated Congresswoman Mace.
