Reminder: Shutdown Started December 22 When GOP Controlled Congress

[skews13]

Much of the American public seems to have forgotten that the government shutdown started on December 22 when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and Paul Ryan was Speaker of the House. In fact, Rep. Nancy Pelosi had absolutely nothing to do with the initial shutdown, since at the time she only spoke for the Democratic minority in the House of Representatives.

So Pelosi has had the chance to end it and has showed no inclination to do so. It is now the Pelosi shutdown.

Are you telling us a minority leader has some sort of clout here?

Posting multiple threads doesn't make it the fault of The GOP.

How about the Republican shutdowns in Jan/Feb 2018? Republicans led all three branches and couldn't reach an agreement. Does that make it the GOP's fault?

The GOP didn't have a super majority. For budgets, we need every vote possible to get 60. Democrats held back and rightfully, Schumer got blamed.
