Senate Republican slams Greene shutdown criticism: 'Totally unfair'

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) on Thursday slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for breaking with party leadership in her criticism of the government shutdown.

“I understand the frustrations, but I think it’s totally unfair to say that Republicans have not entered in negotiations and Republicans are not having conversations,” the senior West Virginia senator said during an appearance on CNN’s “Inside Politics” when asked about her House colleague.

Greene has criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) decision to cancel legislative votes amid Democratic grievances over the failure to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies.

“This cliff is coming for millions and millions of Americans where their health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket, so put your money where your mouth is,” Greene said in an interview with CNN published Wednesday.
