Summary

Fox News reporter Chad Pergram challenged Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming Democrats for a potential government shutdown over funding bill opposition.

After Johnson claimed Democrats would be “responsible for every troop who misses a paycheck” if they reject his “clean CR,” Pergram pointed out this implies Republicans lack sufficient votes.

Johnson insisted “we’ll have the votes” despite reports that House Republicans plan to vote against the bill, claiming Democrats should “do the responsible thing.”

      That already happened back in 2020 when Fox called the election for Biden. MAGATs melted down, called Fox “radical leftists” and vowed to give their views to even more regressive outlets.
