Vice President JD Vance launched a fierce attack on Democrats, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the government shutdown. Vance said Democrats forced the closure by demanding billions in taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants, calling it a reckless far-left agenda. He accused Schumer of caving to radical pressure to avoid a primary challenge, branding the shutdown a direct result of Democratic extremism. The standoff highlights growing partisan rifts as Washington grapples with $37 trillion debt.

00:00Democrats say that they care a lot about lowering health care costs, and yet when the president took historic action to work with the drug companies to lower prescription drug prices, the Democrats did nothing to help us.
00:11In fact, we would have loved to have the Democrats helping us, but they didn't.
00:14They talk about doing something.
00:16They don't actually do the hard work of making it happen.
00:19What they have done instead is to shut down the government because we won't give billions of dollars to health care funding for illegal aliens.
00:25That is what has actually happened.
00:27To the American people who are watching, the reason your government is shut down at this very minute is because, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the Chuck Schumer AOC wing of the Democratic Party shut down the government because they said to us, we will open the government, but only if you give billions of dollars of funding for health care for illegal aliens.
00:51That's a ridiculous proposition.
00:52Let me make one final point.
00:54I think a lot of Americans are asking themselves, why did this happen?
00:58Why did the Democrats shut down the government despite, as Caroline said, voting on the exact same piece of legislation six months ago?
01:04And there are a lot of different spins that we can put on it, a lot of different answers that we could give, all of them true.
01:09One answer I already gave is that they want to give health care benefits to illegal aliens.
01:13That is true.
01:14They gave us legislative text that would have undone us cutting off health care benefits for illegal aliens.
01:20That's one of the things that they asked for.
01:22But the reality here, and let's be honest about the politics, is that Chuck Schumer is terrified she's going to get a primary challenge from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
01:32The reason why the American people's government is shut down is because Chuck Schumer is listening to the far left radicals in his own party because he's terrified of a primary challenge.
01:42So I'd invite Chuck Schumer to join the moderate Democrats and 52 Senate Republicans, do the right thing, open up the people's government, and then let's fix health care policy for the American people.
