Liberal Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) Upset Over Treatment of DC During Shutdown Resolution Talks

Apoplectic Dem. Congresswoman: Gov‘t Shut Down is ’Like Bombing Innocent Civilians’

WASHINGTON (MyFoxDC) - Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D -DC) was on fire when she spoke to FOX 5 Morning News Thursday about how Washington, D.C. residents are being treated as work to avoid a government shutdown continues.

“We are absolutely outraged. This is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians,” she said.

“It’s time that the District of Columbia told the Congress to go straight to hell,” Norton continued after explaining how an attached rider to the latest bill prevented D.C. from spending its own money on abortions for low income women.

“If these Republicans insist that, if they don’t get the whole pie they’ll take the whole country down with them,” she continued, “then we have got to make them pay the price.”
