The White House called on congressional Democrats to allocate funds for the Department of Homeland Security following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“The Democrats’ hindrance is imposing a huge and completely unnecessary strain on the Secret Service, potentially leading to more fatalities.” Sufficient is sufficient. “Enough discussions on this matter,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated to reporters Monday in the White House briefing room.
“Democrats must follow President Trump’s call for funding the Department of Homeland Security, which he has made for 73 consecutive days.” “This is a national crisis, and all members of Congress must prioritize their country over their party and ensure funding for the Department of Homeland Security,” Leavitt stated.
She referred to the expired funding as a “national disgrace” that warrants greater focus.
“If Republicans cut funding for DHS, and there was another attempted assassination on a Democrat president, I would expect the media coverage to be unyielding and severe, and I wish that it remains that way with the World Cup, America 250, the 2028 Olympics, and an upcoming presidential election,” she stated.
