I sat at the table with Senate Democrats working in good faith to get this done while they played games.\n\n\u201cFor over a year, they presented demands and the second we met them, they made new demands and moved the goal posts. Today they voted against real limitations on politicians\u2019 personal crypto investments. They voted against protecting American consumers from the scammers and fraudsters this bill would have shut down. They voted against American leadership, and handed China and every one of our foreign competitors exactly what they wanted. Democrats chose politics over the American people\u2014again. That\u2019s not leadership on their part, that\u2019s surrender to their radical, socialist base.\n\n\u201cThe once-proud Democratic party is anti-consumer and pro-illicit finance, anti-ethics, anti-free enterprise, anti-worker, anti-livable wage jobs, and pro-socialism. The Democrats are now anti-American.
