Chris Wallace to Mike Pence: You could open the government tomorrow.
"The American people want action on our southern border," Pence insisted.
"They want border security. Eight-hundred thousand federal workers want us to find a way to open the government."
"You could open the government tomorrow," Wallace said, repeating the line three times.
"The House has passed bills to open the government tomorrow, why don't you sign them and open the government and then you can negotiate about this?"
The point could be made that Bozo can't just sign them because they haven't been passed in the senate.
But of course, that's because McConnell is protecting himself, the senate Republicans, and the president from further proving to the public that they own the shutdown by refusing to bring them to the senate floor for a vote, forcing senate Republicans to vote them down or even filibuster them, or else pass them and thus force the president to refuse to sign in order to continue what would then be his and only his shutdown.
