Freshman New York Rep. Max Rose said Thursday that it would be “crazy” to proceed with President Trump’s State of the Union address during the government shutdown.

“We have to start looking at this shutdown as a national crisis, one that has to immediately be resolved so that we can make sure our national security is preserved and we are also paying people who are doing their jobs honorably,” Rose, 32, whose district includes Staten Island and a slice of Brooklyn, told CNN.

“I think a State of the Union address right now would be crazy.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent Trump a letter Wednesday suggesting that he postpone his address or submit it in writing, citing security concerns as the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service have been affected by the shutdown, now in its 27th day and counting.

Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nielsen said later that security would not be a problem despite the shutdown.

Rose, who served in Afghanistan in the US Army, earning a Bronze Star and Purple Heart, was one of the members of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus who met with Trump on Wednesday at the White House.

“The message that we all collectively wanted to bring to the president is really twofold. The first is that there is a strong bipartisan consensus emerging that we have got to get this government back open, that there is really a national crisis emerging in this country as our federal workers, many of whom are entrusted with national security responsibilities, aren’t being paid,” he said.

“Two, that there is also an obvious desire — and I’m not the first to say this and it was not the first time it was said in a meeting — that should we reopen the government even on a temporary basis, there is a strong desire to sensibly analyze [border security] in a way to comprehensively address it while also upholding our values,” he added.

Rose would not disclose what Trump’s reply was.

“That’s one of the problems with this town is everyone leaks like a sieve. The most important thing that we speak to here is there was a bipartisan meeting yesterday that was sensible, comprehensive and that’s what matters,” he said.
