The White House changed its public comment line voice mail to tell people that it was the Democrats’ fault the line wasn’t working, CNN reported on Sunday.
The comment line is meant to allow a chance for anyone to leave a voice message for the president.
Instead, on Sunday, a caller was met with these words: "Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today, because congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down."
The voice mail then suggests to callers that they send an email to the White House.
