Fox News’s Will Cain asked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Monday why more Americans were blaming Republicans for the government shutdown.
Cain began by saying it was a “good idea to shine a spotlight” on the SNAP food benefit program “that is not living up to its expectations.”
“But, still it’s become a political football, Mr. Speaker. It’s one where it’s who’s responsible for canceling SNAP Benefits with the government shutdown,” Cain said. “Now, you and I both know what the facts are, that you’ve passed a clean continuing resolution. Democrats have yet to vote for that, not enough of them to vote in the Senate. And still, according to an NBC poll, 52% of Americans are blaming congressional Republicans and/or Donald Trump, as opposed to 42% blaming Democrats. Why would the polls look like that when you were clearly voting to continue to fund the government, 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.”
Johnson continued:
But statistics like that, polls like that, don’t surprise me. The entire media establishment is parroting the talking points of the Democrats every day. It’s the most staggering level of gaslighting we have ever seen in American politics. Literally, the Democrats have voted 14 times to close the government down, where Republicans have voted 14 times to open it.
And right after they cast the votes, Will, they go out and find the nearest television camera they can, they look right into the lens and they say, it’s the Republicans fault. I mean, it’s just madness. It’s absolutely the opposite of the truth. But I think the longer this drags on and the more pain that’s experienced by real Americans I think they’re going to be digging beyond the headlines and looking to see who was really responsible and the facts are clear.
