Republicans need to band together and not give in to Democrats in order to end the government shutdown, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Newsmax on Tuesday.
Marshall said on "Wake Up America" that there are quite a few Democrats "that are realizing that it is easier to force a shutdown than to get out of a shutdown."
"I think that this is a time when Republicans need to stop negotiating against ourselves. We need to stick together here, follow President [Donald] Trump's leadership and not give in."
Marshall emphasized that the main goal of Republicans "was to keep the government open and work toward a balanced budget [and] responsible spending. The biggest problem that our country faces is our national debt."
He said the GOP should let Democrats "keep screaming," while Republicans should "keep together."
Marshall pointed out that "what the Democrats are locked in now are these Obamacare extra, extra Biden subsidies. They are admitting that Obamacare was an abstract failure, that it's truly unaffordable care."
"Every time they complain about the failures of this program, it just shows us what we all thought [about Obamacare] — that overregulation leads to consolidation of the industry," added Marshall.
