Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said that she
marched into the office to talk to Speaker Mike
Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday and tried to reason
with him about averting a government shutdown,
but it became clear to her that he didn’t care.
“I implored the Speaker that he should have
brought his members here so that if there were a
chance to solve this without shutting the government
down, we would have been able to do that.
But in the absence of that, by him sending everybody
home or on vacation, he effectively created
a shutdown,” Dean told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace
about her conversation with Johnson.
