Here we go again: the Democrats are playing their usual game of blame-shifting and victim-playing when it comes to the government shutdown. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries tried his best to pin the entire fiasco on President Trump and Republican lawmakers. But here’s the truth: the left-wing media won’t shout from the rooftops—it’s actually the Democrats who are holding the government hostage by refusing to vote to reopen it.
Even a CNN host felt compelled to correct Jeffries on live television. The Republicans, who control the House, Senate, and the presidency, have repeatedly put reopening the government on the table. Yet, the Democrats keep stubbornly voting no. The left wants to pretend it’s the GOP causing chaos, but the voting record tells a completely different story. This is classic liberal behavior: demand all the goodies, then block any chance for compromise, all while crying victim when things don’t go their way.
CNN’s Jake Tapper: “This is… a choice by Senate Democrats to not vote to open the government.”
Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “No it is not.”
CNN’s Tapper: “Yes it is.”

What’s really galling is how Democrats wrap their obstructionism in self-righteousness. They claim to act in the best interests of the American people, yet they refuse to take the simple step of voting to open the government. Their motives are clear: push radical spending plans and social agendas that no rational American supports, and use the shutdown as political leverage. Meanwhile, average citizens suffer as the bureaucracy grinds to a halt. It’s a sick game of political Russian roulette with America’s future.
Let’s not forget that this theatrical blame game is rooted in the globalist, anti-American agenda that too many Democrats embrace. They see the government shutdown as a convenient platform to demand more taxpayer money for wasteful programs while ignoring the real needs of hardworking Americans. The GOP, on the other hand, is fighting to keep America’s economy strong, protect our borders, and restore common sense to a government that’s gone far off the rails.
The real question is, when will the Democrats stop using the American people as pawns in their political chess game? How much longer will the media allow them to rewrite reality without pushback? The American people deserve better than a shutdown based on liberal stubbornness and radical demands. It’s time to quit the blame game, vote to open the government, and get back to work—for a change.
