CLEVELAND, Ohio – U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan has some strong feelings about the potential government shutdown.

The Niles-area Democrat gave an impassioned speech on the House floor Thursday night chastising Republicans for chaotic nature of Washington politics. The message: get it together and govern.

Washington has been a hectic place this week. After the Senate announced a deal to fund the government, Republicans in the House – led by fellow Ohio U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan – along with President Donald Trump, instead said they would shut down the government. The hang-up on a funding deal is Trump’s demand that Congress give $5 billion for a border wall.

Compounding that issue is Trump’s decision – announced via Twitter – that he was pulling troops out of Syria and reports that he’s possibly pulling some ground forces out of Afghanistan. Secretary of Defense James Mattis resigned, rebuking Trump in a letter on the way out.

In short, Washington hasn’t functioned smoothly this week and Ryan – who’s mentioned the possibility of running for president – made his distaste clear.

“You guys are living in the past. And this government is in chaos,” Ryan said. “It’s in a freefall. The market’s in a freefall. The staffing at the White House is in a freefall. The Secretary of Defense is gone. We’re pulling out of Syria. What is going on? You are in charge of the House, Senate and White House. Get a grip! And learn how to govern the country.”
