"He said congressional Dems have voted 13 times now to keep the government shuttered a move that has led to air traffic controllers and federal workers not getting paid and SNAP benefits not being dispersed, Johnson said. They have gone out into the hall to the nearest camera they can find and looked into the lens and said Republicans are shutting down the government. It makes no sense, Johnson said about Democratic lawmakers."
"Johnson continued: It is the most extreme example of gas lighting in the history of American politics. And many in the media have allowed them to get away with that. It is shameful. One reason the Dems are keeping the government shutdown, Johnson said, was because party leaders like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) are terrified of political retribution from far-left Dems."
House Speaker Mike Johnson accused Democrats and many in the mainstream press of blaming Republicans for the government shutdown and described that blame as extreme gaslighting. He said congressional Democrats have voted 13 times to keep the government shuttered, leaving air traffic controllers and federal workers unpaid and delaying SNAP benefits. Johnson said Democratic lawmakers publicly blame Republicans on camera and called their behavior nonsensical and shameful. He argued Democratic leaders fear political retribution from far-left members such as Zohran Mamdani. The shutdown reached its 33rd day, and President Trump said Democrats want Obamacare subsidy extensions and offered to negotiate after reopening the government.
