Fox News reporter calls out Speaker Johnson for blaming shutdown on Dems: doesn’t that mean ‘you don’t have the votes?’
Fox's Chad Pergram was not buying Speaker Mike Johnson's preemptive blaming of Congressional Democrats if a CR spending bill fails to pass a House vote.
Summary
Fox News reporter Chad Pergram challenged Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming Democrats for a potential government shutdown over funding bill opposition.
After Johnson claimed Democrats would be "responsible for every troop who misses a paycheck" if they reject his "clean CR," Pergram pointed out this implies Republicans lack sufficient votes.
Johnson insisted "we'll have the votes" despite reports that House Republicans plan to vote against the bill, claiming Democrats should "do the responsible thing."
You're viewing a single thread.
"Every troop missing a paycheck"? Big coming from the side stealing money from starving people.
As if the Republicans haven't caused many government workers to miss many paychecks. Even WITHOUT their current crimes against humanity they'd still have no ground to stand on with this argument.
It's basically a serial killer being shocked that someone killed one person.
They love to get rid of health care for the troops, so more performative bullshit
and reducing the budget of defense/military by 8% every year.
