Trump Defends Plan to End Shutdown Even as Pence Appears to Hedge
Source: MSN
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Sunday defended his proposal to end the partial government shutdown, using his Twitter account to attack Speaker Nancy Pelosi for turning down the offer, even as Vice President Mike Pence appeared to open the door to negotiations over the plan.
In an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” Mr. Pence said Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, planned to bring the president’s proposal to the Senate floor for a vote on Tuesday, adding that Mr. Trump had “set the table for a deal.”
But when Chris Wallace, the program’s host, asked Mr. Pence if the president’s proposal was a final offer, Mr. Pence hedged, saying, “There’s a legislative process that is going to begin on Tuesday in the United States Senate” — a possible acknowledgment that the proposal might be amended on the Senate floor.
“Does that mean that you’re willing to negotiate from what the president said, or is that the final offer?” Mr. Wallace asked again. Mr. Pence replied, “Well, of course. The legislative process is a negotiation.” But on Twitter, Mr. Trump seemed to be holding fast as he took aim at Ms. Pelosi and pushed back against conservative critics who have described the plan as amnesty for undocumented immigrants.

Trump is all over the map, yet the media is now pushing a false equivalency once again that Democrats need to negotiate even though they have, but the reason why we are in a shutdown is because the White House reneged back in December because Rush and Ann Coulter said mean things about Trump.
