As the partial federal government shutdown continues, the Democrats are still attempting to insist that it's the fault of Trump and the Republicans even though the Dems are the ones blocking the CR in the Senate.
About a week ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries tried to push the Democrat talking points to CNBC's Joe Kernen and got absolutely destroyed.
Perhaps Dem Sen. Mark Kelly didn't see the Jeffries interview because he tried to push similar talking points today and Kernen wasn't buying what Kelly was trying to sell. Watch:

CNBC: "You closed the government down because you want $1.5 trillion for all these different things... maybe you can convince the public that it's the Republicans but, it's not." pic.twitter.com/7JskHFBwZl
Kernen called Kelly a liar without using that word and you could tell Kelly didn't like it (but if the shoe fits...).

I really wish they would all stop lying, it’s getting old!

It doesn't look like the Dems have any intention of stopping the constant lying. As a matter of fact they continue to double and triple down.
