Geo. Conway: GOP senators bear responsibility for shutdown because they took 'idiot' Trump seriously
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/426948-george-conway-gop-senators-bear-responsibility-for-shutdownGeorge Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, tweeted Friday that Republican senators bear responsibility for the ongoing government shutdown due to their decision to take President Trump at his word.
Responding to a reported quote from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) blaming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for the shutdown, Conway said the blame truly lay with every GOP senator who believed Trump wouldn't shut down the government over funding for his plans for a border wall.
"No, it’s the fault of all of you for taking the idiot down the street seriously for even a nanosecond," Conway tweeted Friday morning. "You all bear responsibility, and you should accept it, and now take charge."
