Liberal media figures are calling out the Democratic Party after eight senators voted with the GOP on a plan to reopen the government, accusing the party of caving as they try to end the longest shutdown in history.
Ex-CNN host Don Lemon, « The View » co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg, former CNN journalist Chris Cillizza and more were among members of the media lambasting the Democratic caucus members who voted to advance a plan to re-open the government on Sunday.
Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, John Fetterman, D-Pa., Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., Tim Kaine, D-Va., and the number two Democrat in the Senate, Dick Durbin, D-Ill., broke with the rest of the Democrats on the funding vote. King is an independent who caucuses with Democrats.
Lemon posted on TikTok and said the Democrats « caved. »
Goldberg said during « The View » on Monday, « eight Senate Democrats threw in the towel by siding with the GOP to advance a vote that could lead to the government reopening.
