Devin Nunes Calls GOP Colleagues 'Lemmings With Suicide Vests' As Shutdown Looms

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) sharply criticized his fellow House Republicans on Monday, saying it's "moronic" for them to let the government shut down over their opposition to Obamacare and calling them "lemmings with suicide vests."

“They have to be more than just a lemming," he said. "Because jumping to your death is not enough."

Nunes slammed his colleagues for their divisive approach, accusing House Republicans of creating an "us versus them" mentality.

“You have this group saying somehow if you’re not with them, you’re with Obamacare. If you’re not with their plan — exactly what they want to do -- you’re with Obamacare. It’s getting a little old,” he said.
