There is a lot of reactions after the Presidents first Oval Office speech. The nine minutes on the proposed border wall is not getting the support he hoped he would garner. April Ryan speaks with NAACP President Derrick Johnson for his reaction.
.@realDonaldTrump has a duty to the American people that exceed whatever political leanings the administration may have. His unreasonable pursuit to build a #BorderWall is a disservice and a disgrace to our nation.

Joining @SpeakerPelosi and I today are the people who work long hours to serve the American public at our airports, VA hospitals, federal prisons, FEMA, the EPA, and more.
They represent the real, human, collateral damage of the #TrumpShutdown. https://t.co/gBQcIgaAfe

President Trump forced this unnecessary, painful shutdown.
He won’t listen to reason.
He won’t listen to common sense.
Maybe, just maybe, he will listen to @realDonaldTrump?#TrumpShutdown pic.twitter.com/yxZ6GURT0m— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 9, 2019

Do not hold 800,000 workers’ pay and our economy hostage because you can’t convince Congress to fund a small portion of your wall for a manufactured crisis.
That’s not how democracy works.#TrumpShutdown https://t.co/lut2N3iBys

Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!
