"Johnson stated, 'This is not a political blame game. This is one party doing the job and getting the government funded and another that is using people as pawns.'"
"'People are not pawns. These are workers who are sacrificially serving the country. Many of them without pay to make sure that you and your families are safe.'"
"'The House Republicans have now voted that today will be the fourth time to fund the Homeland Security. Look at the Democrats. They're voting over and over.'"
House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the Senate's funding bill for Homeland Security, labeling it a joke and attributing the ongoing government shutdown to Democrats. TSA workers have gone 42 days without pay, with some resorting to selling plasma. Johnson emphasized that the House has voted multiple times to fund Homeland Security, accusing Democrats of using federal workers as pawns. He stated that the Republicans are committed to funding efforts while asserting that the blame game is unproductive and that workers deserve better treatment.
