Scott Jennings Shreds Dems' Shutdown Blame Game with Just One Question
 
Republican strategist Scott Jennings cut through the noise of the government shutdown debate on Tuesday with a single question.

Eight Democratic members of the Senate caved to pressure Sunday by agreeing only to a future vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies. During a panel on “Newsnight,” Dylan Douglas said Republicans, not Democrats, were to blame for the shutdown’s toll on Americans, prompting Jennings to shoot back that the real question was simple.

“Who was casting the votes against opening the government, Democrats or Republicans? Who was casting the votes?” Jennings asked.

Douglas tried to pivot, accusing Republicans of wanting to cut food assistance programs. But Jennings countered that argument.
