House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) went on a tirade against the media and Democrats after being confronted with an uncomfortable poll Monday revealing which political party Americans blame for the long-running government shutdown.
Johnson appeared on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show” to further blame Democrats for the shutdown, spurred by an impasse over Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.
He accused blue states of abusing government programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which Cain described as a “political football.”
The host went on to show Johnson an NBC poll that revealed 52% of voters blame President Donald Trump and Republicans for the shutdown, while 42% blame Democrats. He asked Johnson, “Why would the polls look like that when you are clearly voting to continue to fund the government [and] Democrats are not voting to continue to fund the government?”
“Well, for one thing, the polls are all over the place,” Johnson said. “I mean, CNN was reporting just on Friday of last week that Republicans were winning this as if it was some sort of political game. The only people who lose here are the American people.”
Trump, who usurped Congress’ spending power and made a shutdown deal nearly impossible, told CBS’s Norah O’Donnell in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats demanding to negotiate extending ACA subsidies.
He further blamed Democrats for the shutdown Tuesday on Truth Social, stating that he won’t give out even partial SNAP benefits until the party agrees to reopen the government. (His press secretary later said the benefits would be sent out.)
