U.S. Rep. Ellison,D-Minnesota, appeared on MSNBC'S The Last Word last night decrying the then impending federal government shutdown.
"These people have mortgages, they've got bills to pay, they've got rent to pay, they've got tuition to pay, they've got groceries to buy--this is unconscionable,” Ellison said, referring to the 800,000 Americans who may be furloughed because of the shutdown.
The Fifth District congressman represents Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs including Fridley.
