For a second day in a row, House Democrats voted down a bipartisan measure to get paychecks into the hands of federal workers, with Andy Kim joining his radical colleagues in voting no on paying Department of Homeland Security employees.

Kim’s vote against paying DHS employees, which include the US Coast Guard, Customs and Border Patrol and ICE, is mystifying considering his rhetoric on the importance of paying federal workers. Blind loyalty to Nancy Pelosi makes you do funny things…

NRCC Comment: “Andy Kim’s vote to deny paychecks to the brave men and women of the United States Coast Guard and other Homeland Security agencies is shameful. It’s time for Kim to stop playing political games, do his job and reopen the federal government.” – NRCC Spokesman Michael McAdams
