‘I Reject the Premise!’ Mike Johnson Brawls With CNN’s Dana Bash Over Government Shutdown

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) hit back at CNN’s Dana Bash during a grilling over the ongoing government shutdown on Thursday

Johnson joined Bash on Inside Politics, where he placed all of the blame for the shutdown on Democrats, and said there will be no compromises unless the full, “clean” continuing resolution favored by Republicans is passed.

Democrats are currently at a standstill with Republicans over government funding, demanding that their support for the CR be tied to an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. The shutdown has lasted 30 days, and the food assistance program SNAP will run out of funds by November 1.
