Speaker Mike Johnson Reveals Democrats Plan to Keep Government Closed Until AFTER “No Kings” Protest in DC – “I Have Had it With These People… They Can’t Face Their Rabid Base” (VIDEO)

House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed on Fox News this morning that the Democrats will likely keep the government shut down for more than another week until after a scheduled “No Kings” protest against the Trump Administration on October 18.

The shutdown is entering its tenth day on Friday as Democrats continue to vote against reopening. They are demanding taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals, continued funding for leftwing PBS propaganda, and $1.5 trillion in additional spending.

The No Kings group is planning its demonstration on the National Mall in DC, and "Some of the House Democrats are selling T-shirts for the event," Johnson said.

"It's being told to us that they won't be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can't face their rabid base."

This comes after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer callously boasted that the shutdown is good for the Democrats, and "every day gets better for us." Meanwhile, many Americans will miss a paycheck because of the Democrats' attempts to appease their radical base and fight for illegal aliens.

Johnson was asked to respond to Schumer's comments on Friday morning, and he told the Fox and Friends panel the real reason why this is good for the Democrats.

"I have had it with these people. They're playing games with real people's lives," Johnson said.

WATCH:

Earhardt: So how do you react when you hear Chuck Schumer saying, every day gets better for us? What about the people who aren't getting paid? What about the women who are here While their husbands are deployed? What about people who are trying to go on vacation or go away for the holiday weekend, and their flights are delayed or canceled? How is that better for everybody?

Johnson: Real harm to real people, and we're hearing it from our constituents. The House Republicans right now are in their districts, working, trying to help people through this crisis that's being created by the Democrats. I mean, it's health services, it's nutrition services for young mothers and infant children. It's, you know, all manner of services that are provided. FEMA, they can't write flood insurance policies in the middle of a hurricane season because of this nonsense, and we're so angry about it.

You know, I'm a very patient guy, but I have had it with these people. They're playing games with real people's lives. The theory we have right now, they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's all the pro-Hamas wing and the, you know, the Antifa people. They're all coming out. Some of the House Democrats are selling T-shirts for the event, and it's being told to us that they won't be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can't face their rabid base. I mean, this is, this is serious business hurting real people. And I just, I'm beyond words. I can't believe they're actually doing this.

Mike Johsnon further said in a press release that Congressional Democrats are catering to the radical left groups organizing the October 18 protest after they "spent weeks pressuring Democrats to shut the government down."

"Axios reports that Schumer and his team even established a private “shutdown war room” with progressive activists, unions, and operatives — including MoveOn and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee — to coordinate messaging and strategy. The effort began weeks before the shutdown, with Schumer’s office sharing talking points and campaign-style materials to rally the Far-Left," according to the release.

LOL You can’t change what you don’t own.

The GOP *owns* this shut down.

Once they take ownership they can fix things.

Sounds like insurrection to me.

The fact that democrats are trying to hang this around republican’s necks is infuriating to me. I hope it blows up in their faces in a super spectacular way!

You have to love the irony of their event's attendance will suffer due to Air Traffic Controllers being down. Then again, Soros seems to have an endless supply of buses and money to run them.

What will be phenomenal is the amount of trash Leftists leave after every one of their tantrum-fests. Conservatives, on the other hand, rarely leave much for a city to deal with.

The Leftists are walking examples of the computer maxim: garbage in - garbage out.

Sounds like insurrection to me.

As long as they don't force their way into any federal buildings, or disregard orders to disperse if necessary, and follow whatever limitations are on their permit, it's just a protest.

I’ve always wondered...does “No Kings” include Martin Luther King?

The Commies will project this closure on Republicans while they revel in the power they now hold to crash the capitalist form of government they so passionately hate. They have no other card to play - not a snowball in hell’s chance of gaining back elected power - so blackmail is the card they will play, which makes Schumer giddy as a kid with his first lollipop because the far Left is now back in the cat bird seat and they can blame it all on the Republicans and Trump. They don’t have a conscience or any concern for the welfare of the country just as long as they retain the ability to wield power.

If you want to succeed, tell yourself the truth.

This is Trump’s shutdown. He can end it any time he wants to.
