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.”

    “We refused to negotiate with them and filled the CR with Republican amendments, but if Democrats and 2 Republicans don’t vote for it then the shutdown is the Democrats fault!”

    If a human being can be that dishonest and still convince himself he’s a good person, maybe our species never had much of a chance.
