Sen. Ruben Gallego Accuses Johnson Of Extending Shutdown

Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for the Republicans' unwillingness to negotiate an end to the government shutdown, which has lasted 28 days.

“How can I negotiate? The president’s in Asia for five days. Johnson’s keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with?”

Gallego made these comments on CNBC's Squawk Box, noting that President Donald Trump is currently on an overseas trip in Asia.
