@cspanofficial: Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday blamed Democrats for the pain of the government shutdown, including the upcoming lapse in SNAP benefits, commonly known as food stamps. "The Democrats own every one of these consequences," he told reporters, pointing to their repeated votes against the House-passed continuing resolution. "Almost comically at this, the Democrats are still out trying to convince you this is somehow Republicans' fault," he said. "No one can say this is in anyway the fault of Republicans." #mikejohnson #governmentshutdown #cspan
