Adam Kinzinger on DHS Bill: ‘The Ability to Pass This Was Impressive’ They Have Such Thin Majority

RUSH EXCERPT:KINZINGER: "Yeah. I mean, they obviously had to manage their way through this. And look, when I was in the majority and we would have even like a 30 seat majority, it was hard to pass bills. And part of the reason is everybody felt they were kind of free to go do whatever because, you know, we can lose 29 people and still pass it. I‘ve actually, if I have to be honest, the ability to pass this was impressive to me because they do have such a thin majority. But what that also then does is kind of requires every member to have to, you know, grit their teeth and vote on this stuff. But so I think, you know, getting this stuff done, whether it‘s reopening the government or whatever, can be done at the end. But what you end up where this manifests really is the fact that it‘s actually been a very unproductive Congress. And that‘s to be expected when you have a two seat majority. But they got through this and yeah, I think people were forgetting the government was even shut down actually, until this happened."
