Democrat lawmakers are ready to shut down the government in response to President Donald Trump’s various actions, according to Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.).
Kim joined NBC News’ “Meet The Press” on Sunday to explain the Democrat Party’s plan and reaction to Trump’s executive orders and actions, such as shutting down USAID and Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) gaining access to federal payment systems.
“I’ve worked in government. I’ve worked through multiple government shutdowns. I would be the last person who would want to get to that stage, but we are at a point where we are basically on the cusp of a constitutional crisis,” Kim said. “Seeing this administration taking steps that are so clearly illegal.”
Sen. Andy Kim says Democrats are willing to shut down the US Government in opposition to President Trump.

Kim hilariously doesn’t realize that reducing government involvement in our lives is exactly why we voted for Trump.
Go ahead, shut it all down!pic.twitter.com/nexQYij5Rl
“Until we see a change in that behavior, we should not allow and condone that, nor should we assist in that,” he continued.
“I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we’re seeing when it comes to this administration’s actions,” he said. “And for us to be able to support government funding in that way only for them to turn it around, to dismantle the government. That is not something that should be allowed.”
Sen. Kim went on to excoriate Trump for shuttering USAID programs, such as its funding of sex changes in Guatemala or Sesame Street productions in Iraq, claiming cutting off these programs will be “devastating to our nation’s national security.”

Why aren’t Democrats concerned with the hundreds of billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse that the Trump administration as already uncovered?
These are not serious people.
