JD Vance calls Trump the ‘trolling master’ as he pins government shutdown on Democrats
Vice President uses government shutdown as opportunity to attack the ‘far left’
- JD Vance praised House Speaker Mike Johnson for displaying a video compilation of Democrats previously arguing against government shutdowns.
- Vance suggested Johnson learned this 'trolling' tactic from President Donald Trump.
- Speaking on Fox News, Vance blamed Democrats for the potential government shutdown, accusing them of withholding votes for a stopgap bill.
- He criticised 'the far left faction of Senate Democrats' for causing the impasse over 'policy disagreements' concerning Affordable Care Act subsidies.
- The Republican-controlled Senate's stopgap bill failed on the government's fiscal year-end, primarily due to opposition from Senate Democrats led by Chuck Schumer.
