Fetterman Blames Democrats for the Shutdown
Over the weekend, Democratic Senator John Fetterman appeared on CNN to discuss the shutdown and the state of the Democratic Party. Senator Fetterman, one of the few liberal lawmakers routinely willing to work with conservatives, went so far as to say the Democrats “own the shutdown.”

Watch:
When asked by CNN host Jake Tapper who bears the responsibility for the government shutdown, Senator Fetterman was quick to blame his own party. He said to Tapper that, “the Democrats really need to own the shutdown,” clarifying that he voter several times to reopen the government.
The Senator, did, however, agree with Tapper about the threat to Americans relying on SNAP. He shared that he found it “deeply, deeply distressing” to hear that 42 Americans have lost their snap benefits, calling on Democrats to “just reopen our government” to solve the issue.
Since the government shutdown began last month, Democrats and Republicans have bought sought to blame each other. However, Senator Fetterman seems to see through the political posturing. His calls for a reopening of the government should resonate with us all. There are more important things right now than partisan politics.

Father, thank you for Senator Fetterman and his understanding of knowing when to do what’s right, because it is right, and then to do it right. I pray that others in his party will align with him and other leaders to all do the same. In Jesus name.
Amen. 🙏🏻
Thank You Jesus for Your servant, John Fetterman. May You continue to use him in the U.S. Senate as a voice of truth in this government “shutdown”. I greatly respect this man for his common sense approach to things, and his boldness to speak up in the crazy world of politics in Washington.. Please draw him closer to You. Thank you Jesus.
I appreciate Fetterman’s honesty and integrity. Please bless him and others who are willing to do what is right, and not just what is convenient or expedient, YHVH. Please convict those holding our nation hostage through this government shutdown, and bring them to cross the aisle and to work with the Republicans and sane Democrats to do their jobs.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for Senator Fetterman and the boldness You have put inside of him! Continue to hold him giving him the strength and courage needed to continue to stand for morals and just decisions. Thank You Father for giving him a firm foundation. Protect the senator and his family. Open the hearts of others in his party to join him in the stand he has taken for the people of Pennsylvania and around the nation.
Thank You Father, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
