BREAKING: The @GOP Just Tweeted This LIE @GOP: “Democrats have held our government hostage for weeks, but thanks to President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, the government will reopen.”

FACTS MATTER!

I checked on their twitter feed and the GOP indeed posted this.

1. Democrats offered every day to open the government with a CR for 35 days. Trump said no.
2. On Day 35, Trump said OK.
3. On Day 36, @GOP tweets "thanks to President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, the government will reopen and federal workers will be paid"

Always call it: Trump's Proud Shutdown.

“I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck. … I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”
