On March 13th, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about one Democrat Senator who is now willing to vote with the Republicans to end the partial government shutdown. It only took a terrorist attack in her home state for her to change her mind.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin changed her tune on funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Friday after a Lebanese national attacked a Metro Detroit synagogue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DHS identified the deceased suspect who attacked<\/a> the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, as Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, a Lebanese native who became a U.S. citizen in 2016. Slotkin, who voted<\/a> in favor of continuing the partial shutdown of DHS on Thursday, said during a press conference that DHS needs to be funded because it is an \u201cessential\u201d agency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only member of his party to support the full-year appropriations bill for DHS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghazali allegedly rammed his vehicle into the synagogue in West Bloomfield while several explosives were in the trunk. He then engaged in gunfire with the building\u2019s security team, which caused him to die at the scene, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said<\/a>\u00a0Thursday. The vehicle caught fire after \u201csomething ignited\u201d inside.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The partial shutdown has caused lengthy lines at airports during the spring break travel season, which prompted the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to call<\/a> on Democrats to end the shutdown. The partial shutdown marks the third time TSA employees have worked without pay in nearly six months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have had a number of violent ‘incidents’ in the past few weeks. I don’t know whether any of them would have been stopped by having a funded Department of Homeland Security, but I think it is necessary to admit that right now is a really good time to stop playing games and fund that department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
