Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Sunday said there was \u201cno end in sight\u201d for the partial government shutdown that has shuttered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for 36 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s not play games with the security of our homeland. But we don\u2019t have that. So, President Trump is being forced to do something to reduce those airports. Again, it\u2019s just unconscionable what Democrats are doing. But because the media is on their side, they\u2019re not holding them accountable,\u201d Johnson said during an appearance on NewsNation\u2019s \u201cThe Hill Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI mean, if their tables were turned, we would have been excoriated in the media weeks ago. We would have caved. DHS would have been funded,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson continued, \u201cBut here we are a month into this, and DHS is still not funded and there\u2019s really no end in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shutdown has rocked airports across the country as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents work without pay for the second time in six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate Democrats have refused to back a funding bill that includes money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without reforms to the current policies in place. The party is pushing to see masks removed from immigration agents, the use of judicial warrants and body-worn cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Democratic caucus blocked a House-passed bill to fund ICE and TSA on Friday, blocking the DHS appropriations bill for the fifth time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson said Democrats\u2019 defiance is going to \u201charm\u201d the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe last shutdown shaved, I don\u2019t know what, 1 or 2 percent away from GDP,\u201d he told host Chris Stirewalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wisconsin senator added that partially funding agencies leads to a \u201cslippery slope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a slippery slope to go down because now you start carving out any kind of funding they don\u2019t like. The reason we\u2019re $39 trillion in debt is you have the bipartisan deals \u2026 \u2018We\u2019ll fund your priorities. You fund ours,&#8217;\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe minute you start breaking that, the thing completely collapses. And I\u2019m not one that\u2019s, you know, I\u2019m not going to defend Congress. It is horribly broken. The Senate is horribly broken,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson continued, \u201cWe need a paradigm shift in terms of how we govern this country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
