Ex-RNC chair calls out Mike Johnson

Speaker Mike Johnson
(R-LA) continues
to blame Democrats for
the government shutdown,
but former Republican
National Committee
Chair Michael
Steele called him out for
his “baloney” around the
shutdown.
“People say, ‘Why aren’t
you negotiating with
Democrats?’ I literally
don’t have anything to
negotiate,” said Johnson
when speaking to MSNBC.
“I didn’t put any of
my Republican priorities
on the [continuing resolution].
So, I can’t pull
those off and say, ‘Gee,
is it better now? Can you
vote for it?’ I sent over to
the Senate exactly what
they voted on the last
time, and now suddenly
they want to have a political
fight.’
