Boyle Statement on Trump Trip to Pennsylvania To Campaign

January 18, 2018

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-13) issued the following statement in response to the President's decision to campaign in Pennsylvania amidst a looming government shutdown:

"In the midst of a looming, Trump-created government shutdown threat, the President is instead wasting precious time and resources at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania for an election that won't occur for months. The President made plenty of time last year to cut taxes for his Wall Street friends, but when it comes to keeping the government open and protecting Dreamers, President Trump clearly has other priorities. In Pennsylvania, where the President's approval rating is just 35%, working class voters are sick and tired of his broken promises. The President should be here in Washington cleaning up the crisis that he created."
