Devin Nunes Calls GOP Colleagues 'Lemmings With Suicide Vests' As Shutdown Looms
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) sharply criticized his fellow House Republicans on Monday, saying it's "moronic" for them to let the government shut down over their opposition to Obamacare and calling them "lemmings with suicide vests."
They have to be more than just a lemming," he said. "Because jumping to your death is not enough."
Nunes slammed his colleagues for their divisive approach, accusing House Republicans of creating an "us versus them" mentality.
You have this group saying somehow if youre not with them, youre with Obamacare. If youre not with their plan exactly what they want to do -- youre with Obamacare. Its getting a little old, he said.
