Fox News host Shepard Smith challenged President Trump and Republicans over the idea that Democrats will get the blame for a potential government shutdown, noting that Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House.
“With one party in charge of everything, a government shutdown will not happen, right?” Smith said.
“I mean, never in the history — at least modern history — of the country has there been a government shutdown when a single party is in charge of Washington.”
“Right now, three Republicans and three Democrats say they will vote against it. If so, that will kill it,” Smith said later.
“That would shut down the government. Unless they come up with something else. And there are other possibilities. All of them complicated.”
“The GOP plan was to ‘dare’ the Democrats to vote against that measure saying, ‘We funded the child health insurance program or CHIP for six years,’ ” Smith said. “ ‘You’re going to vote against children’s health?’ ”
