Mike Johnson Criticized As the CR Heads to the Senate: Brit Hume Asks, Is Anyone Blaming Chuck Schumer

The third time's the charm for Mike Johnson's efforts to get a CR bill through the House of Representatives and avoid a government shutdown at midnight tonight.

It's been quite the whirlwind in the House over the last few days. The initial 1500-page monstrosity of a bill that included farm aid, disaster relief, and a big fat pay raise for Congress was defeated. The second attempt was cut to 116 pages but included a suspension of the debt ceiling, which caused the bill to lose the support of many Republicans. The second bill also removed congressional pay raises and only received 2 votes from Democrats.

The third construal removed the suspension of the debt ceiling and returned a smaller congressional pay raise to the bill. Disaster relief and farm aid, which were initially going to be voted on in separate bills, were also included.

The third version of the CR passed easily.

The Senate is expected to pass the bill and send it to President Biden's desk for a signature, which will prevent a government shutdown.

Here is a link to the bill's text if you're interested in reading it.

It seems that every year, the House descends into chaos as it struggles to fund the government with a last-minute CR and Speaker Mike Johnson has been taking a lot of criticism for this year's debacle.

As he often does, Brit Hume made a very astute observation about the budgetary blame game.

Why is Schumer above the fray? Bills that would avoid all the last-minute havoc pass in the House and are sent to the Senate to die.

It's not just appropriations bills. Democrats were beside themselves when funding for pediatric cancer research was removed from the original 1500-page CR, which the House had passed back in March. Schumer buried that bill, and it was never voted on in the Senate.

The same fate befell HR1, the House border security bill.

The House passes bills, Schumer kills the bills and then blames Republicans.

Republicans have the support they need. They just won an electoral trifecta. They do need to improve their messaging.

They say if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all. The best we can come up with for Schumer is that at least he won't be the majority leader in January.
