‘This Is Your
Fault’: Republicans Turn On Each Other After Bills Fail In Senate
Sen. Ron Johnson
(R-WI) aimed a barb at Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
“This is your
fault,” Johnson said.
“Are you suggesting
I’m enjoying this?” McConnell snarled back
The longest
government shutdown in American history has brought some Republican lawmakers
to their breaking point as clashes between allies broke out Thursday at a
private luncheon, according to the Washington
Post
Two Republicans that
were at the luncheon told the Washington Post that at one point Sen. Ron Johnson
(R-Wis.)“This is your fault.”
McConnell reportedly
snapped back at his colleague, “Are you suggesting I’m enjoying this?”
A spokesperson for
Sen. Johnson confirmed the incident.
Already multiple
Republican senators have switched sides and are more focused on reopening the
government than supporting Trump’s plan for a southern border wall. Six
Republicans voted for the Democratic-backed plan on Thursday that would’ve
temporarily opened the government until Feb 8. It included no funding for the
border wall.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) tore
into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-Ky.) on Thursday, saying the record-long government shutdown was McConnell’s
“fault,” according to The
Washington Post.
Frustrated
Republican senators lashed
out at each other and Vice President Pence on Thursday during a
private GOP lunch.
