Dem Loses It When Confronted With His Thoughts On Past Shutdowns: ‘I Don’t Know And I Don’t Care’

Senator Rubén Gallego (D-AZ) became visibly agitated when CNBC host Joe Kernen confronted him directly on how he’d responded to government shutdowns in the past — particularly when Republicans had been the ones making demands — and Kernen ultimately pulled the plug on the entire interview.
“If Republicans shut down the government the next time Democrats are in charge to extract whatever it is that they happen to want —” Kernen began.
“Like they did last time?” Gallego interrupted.

“Are you saying that’s okay? Are you saying that’s okay if they do that next time?” Kernen asked.
“Republicans have done this quite a while, yes,” Gallego claimed.
“What did you say about it when they did it?” Kernen asked.
