TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – U.S. Congressman Mike Haridopolos said Democrats are misleading the public by framing the current government shutdown as a Republican failure, arguing that negotiations had already taken place and Democrats previously agreed to the funding terms they now reject.
Speaking on Florida’s Voice Radio with Drew Steele, Haridopolos said despite Democratic narratives that they “just want to negotiate” is false.
I voted to keep the government open. Unfortunately, Democrats in Congress refused to act, choosing politics over common sense. Now, after more than a week of shutdown, families, workers, and veterans across the country —including many in Florida are paying the price for their obstruction.
Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., says he and his fellow Republicans are "voting to keep the government open."
