"Homan stated, 'Look, I hope so. I mean, they've got to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Again, we're talking about the Department of Homeland security, and we're in an increased threat posture right now because what's going on in the world.'"
"'The American people hold Congress responsible,' Homan responded. 'They're on vacation right now while tens of thousands of DHS employees aren't being paid.'"
"'This isn't a White House issue. This is the Democrats shutting down the Department of Homeland Security,' Homan insisted, emphasizing the need for bipartisan cooperation."
"'Why wasn't the White House able to get both heads of the party the president controls on the same page?!' Brennan asked, highlighting the challenges in party unity."
Margaret Brennan challenged Tom Homan on the DHS shutdown, questioning the lack of action from Congress during their recess. Homan emphasized the urgency of funding DHS due to increased threats. He accused Democrats of holding DHS hostage over immigration policy changes, while Brennan pointed out that Republicans control both chambers. Homan insisted that the Democrats are responsible for the shutdown, despite a bipartisan Senate bill being rejected by the House. The conversation highlighted the complexities of party dynamics and accountability in the ongoing crisis.
