House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) accused President Donald Trump and the GOP of running a “pedophile protection program” instead of fighting to make life better for the American people. During a Capitol Hill press conference on Monday, Jeffries accused the Republicans of caring “less” about the pain the government shutdown is causing.

“All Republicans care about is the opinion of one man, the puppet master of the Republican Party, Donald J. Trump,” Jeffries said. “They don’t care about anything else. How else can you explain the fact that they are weaponizing hunger? How else can one explain the fact that they refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, and they’re hurting their own constituents?”

Jeffries claimed that the five states most impacted by ending tax credits on the ACA are all run by Republicans: West Virginia, Wyoming, Alaska, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

“How else can you explain the fact that Republicans have canceled votes now for six consecutive weeks — missing in action, taxpayer-funded vacations, running the pedophile protection program — while doing nothing to make life better for the American people.”
