While the Dems are out there pretending that the shutdown has everything to do with Republicans and nothing to do with them, the evidence speaks loud and clear. This is why Speaker Mike Johnson said what everyone already knows to be true.
According to Johnson, the Dems are terrified of their “radical base,” which is why they are keeping the government shut down. That tells you all you need to know about the left’s priorities — which is that they don’t intend to represent you.
The reason the government is shut down is that they are demanding free healthcare for illegal aliens — despite their claims otherwise. So, if they are horrified at upsetting people, it would go without saying that the radical base they are beholden to might not be what you would call a “legal citizen.”
According to NJ Media:
Johnson opened the news conference just after 10 a.m. Tuesday, saying the U.S. is now in “Day 21 of the Democrat shutdown.”
“It’s now three weeks since the Democrats decided to shut down the federal government,” Johnson said. “And yet again, Senate Democrats voted to prolong the pain and keep the government closed.
“So far what this shutdown has caused to the people of this country is really unconscionable and the U.S. economy has now lost hundreds of billions of dollars. We have federal workers who are desperate for pay and uncertain the they will get their next paycheck.”
