Make no mistake: Democrats’ shutdown tantrum — now dragging into its 38th day of misery — is a brazen, demented betrayal of the American people. Now, as FAA safety restrictions loom like a guillotine over holiday flights, Democrats are inflicting their man-made catastrophe on Americans just trying to make life-saving medical trips or get home for Thanksgiving.

Everyday travelers are pleading with Democrats to end the hostage-taking:

“I’m more than a little concerned,” said a traveler at Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport in Nevada — where Sen. Jacky Rosen has voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“I am so frustrated,” said a traveler at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia — where Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“I’m a little worried because I’m supposed to fly to see my mom on Thanksgiving and I don’t see this ending,” said a traveler at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Michigan — where Sens. Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“The government is playing with people’s lives,” said a traveler at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia — where Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“It’s just not right. It’s very upsetting,” said a traveler at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona — where Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“We’re extremely nervous because we have to make it to the appointment… We can’t miss it. Time is running out,” said a traveler at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota — where Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“It’s not just the traveling public, but it’s affecting the whole economy — and you people are to blame,” said a traveler at Newark International Airport in New Jersey — where Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
“It’s going to impact the everyday lives,” said a traveler at Denver International Airport — where Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper have voted 14 times to extend the shutdown.
