Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “The truth of this shutdown is that it's actually not about a wall, it is not about the border and it is certainly not about the well-being of everyday Americans. The truth is, this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms."
