GOP Congressman DeSantis Rips Democrats: ‘They Care More About Illegal Immigrants Than They Do About Our American Military’

Appearing on Fox News’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight” with host David Asman on Wednesday, Florida Congressman Ron DeSantis, a renowned conservative who is running for the governorship of his state, slammed Democratic members of Congress who are refusing to consider supporting a spending bill to fund the government, saying, “They care more about illegal immigrants than they do about our American military.”

Asman began, “Let me talk about, Schumer was straight out. He said it was going to fall on Republican shoulders.” He quoted Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) saying. “If there is a shutdown, our fingerprints aren’t on it.” Asman continued, “This is like a criminal saying, ‘I’m just about to commit a crime but I’ve shaved off my fingerprints so you won’t be able to track me down.’”
