GOP senator reportedly slams McConnell over shutdown: 'This is your fault'

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) tore into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday, saying the record-long government shutdown was McConnell’s “fault,” according to The Washington Post.

Frustrated Republican senators lashed out at each other and Vice President Pence on Thursday during a private GOP lunch.

“This is your fault,” Johnson told the Republican leader, according to the Post.
Johnson’s spokesperson, Ben Voelkel, confirmed the confrontation to the Post.

McConnell has blocked all previous measures to reopen the government amid the longest shutdown in U.S. history, previously citing the need for President Trump’s approval.
