One party is using the military as a pawn in the government shutdown
And it’s not the Democrats

Republican leader Mitch McConnell stops it, so his party can maintain the talking point that “Democrats care more about illegal aliens than out military.”
Early this morning, @clairecmc tried to pass a bill to guarantee military pay and death benefits in the #TrumpShutdown.

Feel free to throw this in the face of any idiot making that claim.
You’re welcome.
