President Trump has a few people to thank for the partial no-end-in-sight government shutdown: Himself and, say, Sean Hannity.
Thats according to retiring Republican Rep. Ryan Costello (PA), who blamed the Fox News host and a few other people who screamed fire over the Senates continuing resolution and pushed Trump to change his mind to oppose the bill that wouldve kept the government open until early February.
Well, this is the Presidents shutdown. He said it was going to be his shutdown, Costello said Thursday on MSNBC. The Senate voted 100-0 to pass a clean (Continuing Resolution) CR and send it to the House. Sean Hannity and a few other people screamed fire. The President then fell in line behind Sean Hannity. So the fact were in shutdown now is foreseeable and I dont see a scenario where the government opens back up until the new congress is sworn in.
