<a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/10/07/funding-cutoffs-could-make-dems-shutdown-strategy-more-difficult/">The Democrats⁠</a> and their allies in the corporate media have been lying through their teeth about the government shutdown and their ridiculous demands to reopen the government.

This week, Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., joins <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/signal-sitdown">⁠“The Signal Sitdown”⁠</a> to debunk the Left’s chosen narratives about the government shutdown.

”They're big mad about Donald Trump,” Johnson tells The Daily Signal. “That's the 'A' answer. The 'B' answer is that [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer has a base problem, and this is a base management exercise for him.”

Johnson went on to explain why Schumer’s base pressured him into shutting down the government when the measures that the Senate is currently considering to end the shutdown are essentially appropriations levels set during the Biden administration, levels Congress voted to continue in March. “Chuck Schumer got rolled,” in that March funding battle, Johnson says.
