On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. John Fetterman responded to a question on whether he’ll vote in favor of a reconciliation bill to end the DHS shutdown by saying that he won’t be part of the mess at airports.
Co-host Bill Hemmer asked, “Will you vote with Republicans if a bill comes before the Senate floor on reconciliation, which means a simple majority in the Senate, to get it done?” Fetterman answered, “What I’m saying is that I refuse to always vote to shut our government down. And I would never be a part of this mess…this shutdown has created across America’s airports. Now, constantly speaking to TSA agents, and every single one of them saying we are hurting and we haven’t been paid, and remind people, they earn an average about $50,000 a year. They rely on their paychecks. Now, … even not being paid, they have to face those crowds now. So, I just can’t imagine why we want to continue these things. Just like the past shutdown, the only people that are the workers and America.”PBS's Desjardins: GOP Getting Blamed for DHS Shutdown Democrats StartedReports of Iran Wanting Vance to Lead Negotiations Are 'Foreign Propaganda' Report: 3,000 Troops from Army’s Elite 82nd Airborne Set for Rapid Mideast Deployment to Support Iran‑Theater OpsWhite House Official: Reports of Iranians Wanting Vance to Lead Negotiations Are Part of a ‘Foreign Propaganda Campaign’Andrew Kolvet Pushed Back on ‘Conspiracy Garbage’ Surrounding Kirk Assassination: ‘More Evidence Will Be Presented to the Public’ Watch: Jane Fonda, Senator Elizabeth Warren Declare Paramount-Warner Bros.
