CNN Pulls Receipts of Trump on Tape Blaming ‘The President’ if There’s a Government Shutdown
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins pulled some video receipts on Wednesday of then-future President Donald Trump repeatedly arguing that “the president” should bear the blame if there’s a government shutdown.

Amid a government shutdown that began this week, Trump and the Republicans have tried to place blame for the standoff on Democrats with the claim — ruled false by numerous fact-checkers — that the party is holding out in order to “give all these illegal aliens free health care.”

Democrats have blamed Trump because he and his party control the White House and both chambers of Congress.
