Jeffries vs Alford: Floor Showdown Erupts as GOP Rep Calls It ‘Stupidest Shutdown in US History’

Jeffries accused Republicans of trying to force right-wing ideology on the public and argued that immigration enforcement should be humane even while the border is secured. But Alford was not letting that stand. He openly laughed at Jeffries’ claim, accused Democrats of backing an administration that failed to protect the border, and said millions of illegal immigrants had entered the country and brought chaos. Then came the line driving the clip everywhere: Alford called it the “stupidest shutdown in US history.”
