Over thirty Congressional Democrats are currently in Puerto Rico on a winter retreat as the government shutdown goes into its 4th week.
President Trump is working around the clock during the government shutdown trying to negotiate with Pelosi and Schumer to secure border wall funding.
The Democrats however, are partying at a beach resort in Puerto Rico on a winter retreat.
This is the longest government shutdown in US history because Pelosi and Schumer refuse to compromise on a border wall — a wall they were in favor of only a few years back.
The Democrats don’t care about the 800,000 federal workers who are currently not receiving a paycheck.
Democrat Senator Bob Menendez was spotted hanging out with a bikini-clad “colleague” on the beach in Puerto Rico three weeks into the shutdown without a care in the world.
The Hispanic Caucus of liberal Democrats is holding their retreat at a posh tropical resort while American government workers are suffering.
Fox News producer David McAlpine tweeted:

Sean Spicer made a good point:
if 30 @GOP members of Congress were hanging at the beach during a partial shutdown with lobbyists the media would be going nuts — aside from the @dcexaminer the MSM has been silent and complict https://t.co/WEGLzaD0ym
