House GOP leaders continue to hammer Senate Democrats as the government shutdown enters day 14.

While speaking on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) stated Democrats will have another chance to vote to re-open the government for the American people.   

He pointed out that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has supported CR’s 29-out-30 times in the past to avert a government shutdown. 

Johnson contends the New York Democrat is now opposing a CR just to appease his far left base and to save his job.     

The speaker also notably denounced the Democrat’s counter-proposal for including wasteful spending for international projects.  

Johnson also said the House-passed CR is a clean resolution, and if passed, it will allow both sides to negotiate.
