That is true but they're also serving themselves at the same time, because nobody's forcing them to be members of congress.

They're hoping that the word "hospital" pulls at the heartstrings of idiots, but this is a lure that's only going to catch the most ignorant fish. As soon as the government opens back up, and the "rural hospitals" are still in
business, a few moderately intelligent people be scratching their heads.

That's a good point though - he could fight to block federal funding to the schools until they install TSA style metal detection. But trying to get a Democrat to do this is like trying to turn a member of a gang against his own gang.
