Rep. Mikie Sherrill expressed frustration with her Democratic colleagues at a recent town hall, admitting they block legislation because they "Don't want to give the president a win."
Speaking at a Livingston, New Jersey, town hall on Thursday, Sherrill revealed the "Shockingly different mindset" of congressional Democrats who prioritize resisting President Donald Trump over passing legislation that could help their constituents.
"I said, 'Yeah, we just passed it. I need the Senate to pass it and I need the president to sign it,' and they said 'Well, we don't want to give the president a win.'".
Sherrill's comments contrast with Democrats' longstanding criticism of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for blocking Democratic initiatives in the Senate.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi unveiled a visual representation of McConnell's "Legislative graveyard" in June, accusing the Kentucky Republican of blocking legislation for political gain.
According to National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Michael McAdams, Sherrill's admission contradicts Democrats' push for bipartisanship in the Republican-held Senate.
"Mikie Sherrill's comments confirm that House Democrats would rather block President Trump from getting a win than deliver solutions for their constituents," McAdams said.
