As the government shutdown drags into its fourth day with no resolution in sight, House leaders Mike Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries are accusing the other’s party of being responsible for both the shutdown and the government’s inability to reopen.

In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said he has not heard from Republican leadership for at least a week.

“Republicans, including Donald Trump, have gone radio silent,” Jeffries said.

“And what we’ve seen is negotiation through deep fake videos, the House canceling votes and of course President Trump spending yesterday on the golf course. That’s not responsible behavior.”

1. Hmm, let me see, a Democratic Congress-woman waiting to be sworn in,

a government shutdown and Congress on another un-scheduled vacation, ostensibly a district work, time off and Republicans couldn't run from the chamber fast enough because their "boss" told them to. But the Democratic Party who stayed in D.C. are un-serious. Riiight.
Anything not to have to deal with the Epstein file.

2. Okay, Holy Mike.

Convene Congress. The Democrats will be there. Then, we can see how 'serious' you and your party of pedo-protectors really are.

What's that? You are not going to?

Didn't the rethugs in Texas raise hell and threaten the Democrats with all kinds of horror because they left town to avoid their legislative session?

Now, you have decided that there is nothing wrong with skipping town when there is legislative business to be done that you don't like?

Thought so.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Mike Johnson.
